The command "npm fund" is used in the Node Package Manager (npm) to get information about the funding sources for a specific package. The "${package}" placeholder is used to specify the name of the package for which you want to retrieve the funding details.

When you execute the command "npm fund ${package}", npm will look for the information related to the funding sources for the specified package. Package authors can include funding details in their package.json file, and npm will fetch this information from there.

The funding information generally includes the URLs or other details about the funding sources, such as Patreon, Open Collective, or any other platforms used by the package author to receive financial support for package maintenance and development.

By running this command, you can quickly find out how to support the package author financially if you find their package useful or want to contribute to the project's sustainability.
