rusnapshot: Create a read-write snapshot.
$ sudo rusnapshot -c ${path-to-config-toml} --cr --rw
try on your machine

This command is used to run the rusnapshot application with certain options and a configuration file specified.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • sudo: It is a command that allows a user to run programs or commands with the security privileges of another user (usually the superuser, root). Using sudo grants elevated permissions required for certain actions.

  • rusnapshot: It is the name of the application or command being executed.

  • -c ${path-to-config-toml}: This option specifies the configuration file for rusnapshot. ${path-to-config-toml} represents the actual file path to the configuration file in TOML format. TOML is a configuration file format commonly used in Rust applications. The -c option is used to indicate that the following argument specifies the configuration file.

  • --cr: This option likely stands for "create read-only snapshots." It tells rusnapshot to create snapshots in read-only mode, which means the snapshots can't be modified.

  • --rw: This option likely stands for "read-write snapshots." It tells rusnapshot to create snapshots in read-write mode, which allows modifications to the snapshots.

By running the given command with appropriate values for ${path-to-config-toml}, rusnapshot will execute with the specified configuration, and the desired snapshot mode will be enabled. The usage and behavior of the rusnapshot application would ultimately depend on its specific implementation.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
