This command is likely specific to a certain software or system, as it does not resemble any commonly used command line syntax.

However, based on the provided command, it might be using a tool called "qm" to copy a virtual machine (VM). Here is a breakdown of the different parts:

  • qm copy: This is the main command for copying a VM.
  • ${vm_id}: This is likely a variable representing the ID or name of the original VM that needs to be copied.
  • ${new_vm_id}: This is likely a variable representing the ID or name of the new VM that will be created as a copy.
  • --description: This is likely an option specifying that the description for the new VM follows.
  • ${description}: This is likely a variable representing the description of the new VM.

In summary, this command seems to be copying a VM with some provided parameters like the original VM's ID, the new VM's ID, and the description of the new VM.
