osv-scanner: Scan an SBOM file.
$ osv-scanner -S ${path-to-sbom_file}
try on your machine
The command "osv-scanner -S ${path-to-sbom_file}" is used to run the OSv Scanner tool with a specific Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) file.
Here's a breakdown of each component:
- "osv-scanner": Refers to the name of the command or executable file that runs the OSv Scanner tool. This is the main tool being executed.
- "-S": This flag is an option/argument to the OSv Scanner tool, indicating that a specific SBOM file will be provided.
- "${path-to-sbom_file}": This is a placeholder for the actual path to the SBOM file you want to use. You need to replace it with the real path on your system. The SBOM file is a document that contains a list of software components and their metadata used in a particular software project.
By executing this command with the appropriate SBOM file, the OSv Scanner tool will scan the software components listed in the SBOM file and provide an analysis or report on the potential security vulnerabilities and issues present in those components.
