The command tldr -p linux chroot is used for accessing a short, practical summary or cheat sheet of the chroot command specifically in the context of Linux.

chroot stands for "change root" and it allows you to change the apparent root directory for a specific command or process. This can be useful for several purposes, such as debugging, system recovery, or isolating processes.

The tldr command is a simplified version of the man command, which stands for "manual". While man provides comprehensive documentation for various commands, tldr offers quick, concise explanations that are often more beginner-friendly and practical.

Using the -p flag followed by "linux" specifies that you want to view the summary for the chroot command in the context of Linux specifically. In other words, it filters the output to show only the relevant summary of the chroot command for Linux users.
