osv-scanner: Scan a docker image.
$ osv-scanner -D ${docker_image_name}
try on your machine

The command "osv-scanner -D ${docker_image_name}" is a command that executes the "osv-scanner" tool with certain options and arguments.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "osv-scanner": It is the name or path of the executable program or script that is being executed.
  • "-D": This is a command-line option or flag that is passed to the "osv-scanner". It likely stands for "debug" or "diagnose" mode, enabling additional verbose output or diagnostic information.
  • "${docker_image_name}": It is a variable placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the Docker image you want to scan. The content of this variable specifies the specific Docker image you want to analyze using the "osv-scanner".

In summary, this command is used to run the "osv-scanner" tool in debug mode and pass the name of a Docker image as an argument to scan and analyze it.
