The command "osv-scanner -L ${path-to-lockfile}" is a command line instruction that involves an application called "osv-scanner" scanning a specified lockfile indicated by the variable "${path-to-lockfile}".
Here's a breakdown of the different components:
-
"osv-scanner": This is the name of the application or binary that is being executed. It is likely a vulnerability scanner or security tool specifically created for examining lockfiles.
-
"-L": This is an option or flag for the "osv-scanner" command. Options usually modify the behavior of the command or specify additional settings. In this case, "-L" is used to instruct the scanner to process a lockfile.
-
"${path-to-lockfile}": This is a placeholder or a variable that represents the path or location of the lockfile you want the scanner to analyze. You need to replace "${path-to-lockfile}" with the actual file path, including the filename and extension.
So, when you run the command, the "osv-scanner" application will execute and use the specified lockfile to perform whatever analysis or scanning it is designed for. The specific functionality and output of the command would depend on the purpose and capabilities of the "osv-scanner" application itself.
