The command "xcode-select --print-path" is used to display the current location of the Xcode Command Line Tools on your macOS system.

Xcode Command Line Tools are a set of developer tools provided by Apple that are required for many software development tasks, such as compiling programs, installing libraries, and building software.

When you run the "xcode-select --print-path" command in your terminal, it will return the path to your Xcode Command Line Tools installation. This path represents the directory where the tools are installed on your system.

By knowing the location of the Xcode Command Line Tools, you can ensure that other tools and software that rely on these tools can access and use them properly.
