This command performs a MySQL database dump using the 'mysqldump' tool, which creates a backup of the database.
- '--user ${user}' specifies the username for accessing the database. The value of '${user}' is a variable that must be defined elsewhere in the script.
- '--password ${database_name}' specifies the password for accessing the database. The value of '${database_name}' is a variable that represents the name of the database to be dumped.
- '--result-file=${filename-sql}' specifies the file path and name for storing the output of the database dump. The value of '${filename-sql}' is a variable that represents the desired name for the backup file.
