The command "tldr -p linux dir" is used to access a summary of the "dir" command in a Linux operating system through the "tldr" utility.

Here's the breakdown:

  • "tldr" (short for "Too Long; Didn't Read") is a command-line utility programmed to provide concise and simplified explanations of common terminal commands. It aims to offer quick references for users who want to grasp the basics of a command without going through detailed man pages.

  • "-p" is a flag or option for the "tldr" command. In this context, it specifies the platform or operating system for which the command summary is requested. By using "-p linux", the command will provide the summary relevant to Linux systems.

  • "linux dir" is the actual command for which the summary is desired. In this case, the "dir" command is one of the basic commands in Linux used to list the contents of a directory.

So, running "tldr -p linux dir" will display a succinct and simplified explanation of the "dir" command in a Linux environment.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
