The command "kdocker" is a utility command used in Linux systems to minimize or dock any application into the system tray or taskbar. It allows you to run graphical applications and have them minimized or hidden from the main desktop while still running in the background.

By using the "kdocker" command, you can specify the application you want to dock, and it will run the application in a separate window that can be minimized or hidden from view. The application will continue to run and can be accessed by clicking on its icon in the system tray or taskbar.

The basic syntax of the "kdocker" command is:

kdocker [options] <command>

Some common options and features of "kdocker" include:

  • -q or --initial-hide: Starts the application in a hidden state.
  • -i or --icon: Specifies a custom icon for the application in the system tray.
  • -d or --desktop: Forces the application to be displayed on a specific desktop.
  • -n or --name: Specifies a custom name for the application in the system tray.
  • -p or --pid: Specifies the process ID of the application to dock.

To use "kdocker", you need to have it installed on your Linux system. You can install it using your package manager, such as apt or yum, depending on your distribution.

Overall, "kdocker" is a convenient command for managing and organizing multiple applications by keeping them hidden or minimized in the system tray or taskbar, reducing desktop clutter.
