The "kdialog --getopenfilename" command is used in Linux for launching a file selection dialog box.
Here is the breakdown of the command:
- "kdialog" is a command-line utility in Linux for displaying various dialog boxes and prompting the user for input.
- "--getopenfilename" is an argument that instructs the kdialog utility to open a file selection dialog specifically for choosing a file to open.
When you execute the command, a file selection dialog will appear on the screen, allowing the user to browse and select a file from their system. Once a file is selected, the dialog box will close, and the chosen file's path will be returned as the output of the command.
