This command is using the "toolbox" tool to run a specific command within a specific Linux distribution and release.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • toolbox: This is a software tool that provides a containerized environment for running and managing Linux distributions.
  • run: This is an argument for the toolbox command, specifying that the desired action is to run a command within a container.
  • --distro ${distribution}: This is an argument specifying the Linux distribution to be used in the container. The ${distribution} is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual distribution name, e.g., Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, etc.
  • --release ${release}: This argument specifies the release version of the selected Linux distribution. Similar to the distribution argument, the ${release} is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual release version, e.g., 20.04, 33, 8.3, etc.
  • ${command}: This is the actual command that you want to run within the container. Replace ${command} with the specific command you want to execute.

Overall, this command is used to execute a specific command within a containerized environment for a particular Linux distribution and release version.
