This command is used to add a new user to the Prosody XMPP server using the 'prosodyctl' administrative tool. Here's what each component of the command does:

'sudo': It is a command that allows the user to run programs with the security privileges of another user, usually the superuser (root user). This command ensures that the subsequent 'prosodyctl' command is executed with elevated privileges.
'prosodyctl': It is a command-line administrative tool for managing the Prosody XMPP server. This tool provides various operations to manage users, virtual hosts, certificates, etc.
'adduser': It is a command within 'prosodyctl' to create a new user on the Prosody XMPP server.
'${user@example-com}': It is a placeholder representation of the user JID (Jabber ID) in the format 'user@example.com'. JID is a unique identifier for users in the XMPP network. You should replace '${user@example-com}' with the actual JID (e.g., 'john@example.com') when executing the command.

Overall, this command allows you to add a new user to the Prosody XMPP server using the specified JID.
