The command tldr -p linux logger uses the tldr utility to provide a concise explanation or summary of the usage and options of the logger command in Linux.

The logger command in Linux is used to send log messages to the system's logging utility, typically to the /var/log/syslog file. It allows users and scripts to create custom log entries.

By running tldr -p linux logger, the tldr utility searches for and displays a simplified and easy-to-understand summary or "too long; didn't read" (TL;DR) version of the logger command's documentation from the Linux pages. This can be helpful for getting a quick overview of how to use the command without having to read through the full manual page.

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.
