podman: Start or stop an existing container.

podman

$ podman ${select} ${container_name}

try on your machine

The given command is utilizing the podman command-line tool to perform actions on a container. Let's break down the command:

podman: It is a tool similar to Docker CLI, used for managing pods, containers, and container images.
${select}: It seems to be a placeholder for a specific action or sub-command that will be provided to podman. Depending on the value assigned to ${select}, different actions can be performed on the container specified by ${container_name}.
${container_name}: It is also a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired name or identifier of the container you want to perform actions on. The container name is used to identify a specific container in podman.

For example, if you want to start a container named "webapp", you could use the command: podman start webapp.

The exact functionality of the command depends on the specific values assigned to ${select} and ${container_name}, which were not provided in the question.
