The command "tldr -p linux head" is a combination of two different commands: "tldr" and "head".
-
The "tldr" command is short for "too long, didn't read". It is a utility used to provide simplified and concise versions of Linux command explanations. When you run "tldr" followed by a command, it displays a brief summary or usage example of that command. It is designed to quickly provide users with the fundamental information they need without overwhelming them with all the details.
-
The "head" command is a standard Unix command that is used to display the beginning lines of a file or input stream. By default, it displays the first 10 lines of a file, but you can specify a different number of lines using the "-n" option.
By combining these two commands, "tldr -p linux head", you are asking for a simplified explanation or example of using the "head" command in Linux through the "tldr" utility.
