openfortivpn: Connect to a VPN using a specific configuration file (defaults to `/etc/openfortivpn/config`).
$ sudo openfortivpn --config=${path-to-config}
try on your machine

This command is using the sudo command, which is used in Unix-like operating systems to run a command with superuser privileges (in other words, as an administrator).

The main command being executed is openfortivpn, which is an open-source client for Fortinet's SSL VPN. It allows you to establish a secure connection to a Fortinet VPN server.

The flag --config=${path-to-config} is used to specify the configuration file path for openfortivpn. The ${path-to-config} is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual path to the configuration file.

In summary, this command is launching the openfortivpn client with administrator privileges and specifying a configuration file to establish a connection to a Fortinet VPN server.
