This command is using the pmount tool to mount a CD-ROM device with read-only access.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

pmount: This is the command-line tool used to mount removable devices.
--type ${iso9660}: This specifies the file system type of the device to mount, in this case, iso9660 which is the standard file system for CDs and DVDs.
--read-only: This flag indicates that the device should be mounted in read-only mode, meaning it cannot be written to.
${-dev-cdrom}: This represents the path to the CD-ROM device. It is advised to replace ${-dev-cdrom} with the actual device path, such as /dev/cdrom.

So, the command would be used to mount a CD-ROM device with the ISO 9660 file system type in read-only mode.
