The command "transmission-cli" is a command-line interface tool for the Transmission BitTorrent client, used to download and upload torrent files.

The "--port" option is used to specify the port number that Transmission should listen on for incoming connections. The "${port_number}" is a placeholder variable that needs to be replaced with an actual port number.

The "${select}" is another placeholder variable that needs to be replaced with the name or ID of the torrent file that you want to download or upload. This allows you to select a specific torrent from your Transmission client.

In summary, this command is used to start the Transmission client in the command-line interface, specifying a specific port number to listen on, and selecting a specific torrent to work with.
