The command "nmcli radio all ${select}" is used in Linux systems to show the status of all available network interfaces and to toggle their radio status.

Here's a breakdown of each component in the command:

  • "nmcli": It is a command-line tool used to manage NetworkManager, which handles the network connections in Linux.
  • "radio": It specifies the type of action to be performed, which is related to the radio state of network devices.
  • "all": It indicates that the command should be applied to all network interfaces available.
  • "${select}": This is a placeholder for a variable representing a specific network interface or a group of interfaces. It allows users to choose a particular network device or group for the action.

By running this command, you will see the radio status of all network interfaces and have the ability to toggle their state on or off depending on their current status.
