The command tldr -p linux chcon combines two commands: tldr and chcon, and performs the following actions:

  1. tldr is a command-line utility that displays simplified, concise, and practical examples for various commands. By running tldr, you can quickly get command usage instructions. The -p flag specifies the platform for which you want the explanation, in this case, linux.

  2. chcon is a Linux command used to change the security context of files or directories. Security contexts help in implementing access control policies for different objects in Linux, such as file permissions, SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) labels, etc.

Combining the two commands and executing tldr -p linux chcon will display concise examples and usage instructions for the chcon command on a Linux operating system. It can provide you with a quick reference on how to use chcon effectively.
