This command starts the MySQL Server daemon, mysqld, with the specified port number.

Explanation of each part of the command:

  • mysqld: It is the command to start the MySQL Server daemon.
  • --port=${port}: It is an option used to specify the port number on which the MySQL Server will listen for incoming connections. The ${port} is a variable placeholder that needs to be replaced with an actual port number. For example, if you want to start the MySQL Server on port 3306, the command would be mysqld --port=3306.

Overall, this command is used to launch the MySQL Server on a specific port.
