The command "pg_restore" is used in PostgreSQL to restore a database from an archive file or a dump file. Here is the breakdown of the command you provided:

"-h ${host}": This specifies the host (server) where the PostgreSQL database is located. This is typically represented by an IP address or hostname.
"-p ${port}": This specifies the port number on which PostgreSQL is listening for connections. By default, PostgreSQL listens on port 5432, but it can be configured to use a different port.
"-d ${db_name}": This specifies the name of the target database where the restore operation will be performed. "${db_name}" represents a variable that needs to be replaced with the actual name of the database.
"${archive_file-dump}": This refers to the path and filename of the archive file or dump file that contains the database backup. "${archive_file-dump}" is another variable that needs to be replaced with the actual file name.

Overall, the command is used to restore a PostgreSQL database from a backup file.
