start-dev is the command which is starting when the container is running.
In the documentation (https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/run/) you see that the docker run command is defined like this:
docker run [OPTIONS] IMAGE [COMMAND] [ARG...]

After the image name (in your case it's quay.io/keycloak/keycloak:22.0.3) you can call a command. In your case it's start-dev.
