This command is using the "rtmpdump" utility to download a video file from an RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) server. Let's break down the command:

"rtmpdump": This is the name of the utility that allows you to interact with RTMP servers and download video streams.
"--rtmp ${rtmp:--example-com-path-to-video}": This specifies the RTMP server URL to connect to. It's using a variable called "rtmp" to provide the server URL. If the "rtmp" variable is not set, it will default to "-example-com-path-to-video". You would need to replace this with an actual server URL or path to the video.
"--app ${app_name}": This specifies the application name on the RTMP server. You would need to replace "${app_name}" with the actual name of the application hosting the video stream.
"--playpath ${path-to-video}": This specifies the path or name of the video stream to play or download. You would need to replace "${path-to-video}" with the actual path or name of the video stream you want to download.
"-o ${file-ext}": This specifies the output file name or path for the downloaded video. You would need to replace "${file-ext}" with the desired output file extension (e.g., .mp4, .flv, etc.).

Overall, this command is used to download a video file from an RTMP server using the rtmpdump utility, allowing you to specify the server URL, application name, video stream, and output file name or path.
