Provide me with explanation for given snippet, ensure the explaination is clear, concise and readable.

Извините, я не говорю по-русски. Вот объяснение этого фрагмента кода на английском:

This nginx configuration sets the X-Frame-Options header to prevent clickjacking attacks.

It first sets a variable $frame_options to an empty string. Then it checks if the referer header matches a whitelist of trusted domains. If not, it sets $frame_options to 'SAMEORIGIN', which tells the browser to only allow framing on pages from the same origin.

Finally, it adds the X--Options header using the value of $frame_options. So for untrusted referers, X-Frame-Options will be set to SAMEORIGIN. For trusted referers, the header will not be set at all.

This allows framing for specified trusted domains, while preventing framing from all other untrusted sites to mitigate clickjacking attacks.

The configuration is concise, only setting the header when necessary for security purposes. Let me know if you need any clarification or have additional questions!
