The command rdfind -dryrun true ${path-to-directory} is used to find duplicate files within a specified directory without actually deleting or removing them. Here is a breakdown of the elements in the command:

• rdfind: It is the name of the command-line tool being used.
• -dryrun true: It is an option or flag passed to rdfind. The -dryrun flag specifies that the command should only simulate the process and not perform any actual deletion. The true value indicates that the dry run mode is enabled.
• ${path-to-directory}: It represents the path to the directory (folder) where the duplicate files will be searched for. You need to replace ${path-to-directory} with the actual path to the desired directory.

When executed, this command will scan the specified directory for duplicate files and display the results without modifying or deleting anything. It allows you to see the potential duplicates that would be removed if you were to run the command without the -dryrun flag.
