pmount: Mount a device with a specific filesystem type to `/media/label`.

pmount

$ pmount --type ${filesystem} ${-dev-to-block-device} ${label}

try on your machine

The command you provided is using the pmount utility with the following options and arguments:

--type ${filesystem}: This option specifies the filesystem type to be used for the device being mounted. The ${filesystem} placeholder should be replaced with the actual filesystem type, such as ext4 or ntfs.
${-dev-to-block-device}: This argument represents the device file of the device that needs to be mounted. The ${-dev-to-block-device} placeholder should be replaced with the actual device file, for example, /dev/sdb1.
${label}: This argument specifies the label or name for the mounted device. The ${label} placeholder should be replaced with the desired label or name for the device.

In summary, this command instructs the pmount utility to mount a specified device with a specific filesystem type and assign it a label. The device file, filesystem type, and label need to be provided as arguments or options when executing the command.
