The command "speedtest --servers" is used to perform a network speed test using the Speedtest-cli utility with the option to specify servers.
Here's a breakdown of what it does:
- "speedtest" refers to the name of the utility or command that is being executed.
- "--servers" is an option or flag provided to the "speedtest" command. This option allows you to specify the servers from which the speed test will be performed.
When you execute the "speedtest" command with the "--servers" option, it will initiate a network speed test using the closest or default server. However, by specifying the servers using the appropriate server identifiers, you can choose a specific server or a group of servers to run the speed test.
This command can be useful in scenarios where you want to measure the network speed between your device and a specific server or set of servers. For example, if you suspect that your network performance is poor when connecting to a particular server, you can use this command to verify and compare the network speed with other servers.
