The command sudo repquota --group ${filesystem} is used to display the disk usage and limits for a specific group on a specific filesystem. Here is a breakdown of each part of the command:

• sudo: The sudo command is used to execute the subsequent command with superuser (root) privileges. It is often necessary to run administrative commands that require elevated privileges.

• repquota: This is the main command that is being executed. It is used to generate a report of disk usage and limits for a filesystem.

• --group: This option is used to specify that the report should be generated for a group. It indicates that the subsequent argument will be the name of the group for which the report is desired.

• ${filesystem}: This is a placeholder variable that should be replaced with the name of the specific filesystem for which the report is desired. The filesystem is typically specified as a mount point, such as /home or /var. The command will generate the report for the specified group on this filesystem.

Overall, the command sudo repquota --group ${filesystem} allows you to view disk usage and limits for a specific group on a given filesystem while having root privileges to access this information.
