This command is using a program called "rtmpdump" to download an RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) video stream from a specified source. Here's a breakdown of the command:

"rtmpdump": This is the name of the program being executed.
"--rtmp ${rtmp:--example-com-path-to-video}": This is an argument passed to the program, specifying the RTMP URL or path to the video. It starts with "${rtmp:}" which acts as a placeholder for the actual value. If a value is provided for the "rtmp" variable, it will be used as the URL or path to the video. Otherwise, it falls back to the default value "-example-com-path-to-video" (which can be changed to a proper path or URL).
"-o ${file-ext}": This is another argument specifying the output filename. Similar to the previous argument, it starts with "${file-ext}" as a placeholder. If a value is provided for the "file-ext" variable, it will be used as the output filename extension.
