The "mocp --server" command is used to start the Music On Console (MOC) music player in the server mode.

MOC is a lightweight and powerful console-based music player for Linux systems. It allows you to play various audio formats, manage playlists, control playback, and more, all from the command line interface.

The "--server" option instructs MOC to run in server mode. In this mode, MOC starts as a background process and listens for commands from other MOC clients or interfaces. It sets up a server socket that allows remote control of MOC through client applications or scripts.

By running MOC in server mode, you can control the playback, manage playlists, and perform other actions on MOC remotely using client applications or scripts. For example, you can use a command-line client or a graphical user interface (GUI) client to send commands to MOC and control the music playback without directly interacting with the MOC interface.

Overall, the "mocp --server" command starts MOC in server mode, enabling remote control and management of the music player.
