This command is written in PowerShell and is used to manage file access control lists (ACLs).

Get-Acl -Path ${path\to\file} retrieves the current ACL for the file specified by ${path\to\file} and assigns it to the variable $OriginAcl.
Set-Acl -Path ${path\to\file} -AclObject $OriginAcl sets the ACL for the file specified by ${path\to\file} to the value stored in the $OriginAcl variable. Essentially, it restores the original ACL for the file.

In summary, this command retrieves the current ACL for a file and then sets it back to the same value, effectively restoring the original ACL.
