snapper: Create a snapshot with a description.
$ snapper -c ${config} create -d "${snapshot_description}"
try on your machine

This command is using the "snapper" tool to create a snapshot with specific parameters.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "snapper" is the name of the command-line tool that is being executed.
  • "-c ${config}" specifies the configuration to be used for the snapshot creation. The value for "${config}" would be provided when running the command.
  • "create" is the subcommand used to create a new snapshot.
  • "-d "${snapshot_description}"" is used to provide a description for the snapshot. The value for "${snapshot_description}" would also be provided at runtime.

In summary, this command creates a new snapshot using the specified configuration and assigns a description to the snapshot. The values for the configuration and the snapshot description need to be specified when running the command.
