The command "speedtest-cli --share" is used to perform an internet speed test using the speedtest-cli tool and generate a shareable link with the speed test results.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"speedtest-cli": This is the command used to run the speedtest-cli tool, which is a command-line interface (CLI) based internet speed testing utility. It allows you to test your internet connection speed, including download and upload speeds, latency, and other metrics.
"--share": This is an option or flag that is passed to the speedtest-cli command. When this option is included, it tells the speedtest-cli tool to generate a shareable link with the speed test results.

So, when you execute the "speedtest-cli --share" command, it triggers a speed test, and once the test is completed, it will provide a URL or link that you can share with others. This link leads to a web page displaying the details of the speed test, including the download and upload speeds, latency, and server information.
