The command tldr -p linux mktemp is used to display a simplified, concise explanation of the mktemp command, specifically for the Linux operating system.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • -p linux: It specifies the platform or operating system for which you want to see the summary. In this case, it is set to "linux" to display the summary for the Linux platform.
  • mktemp: It is a command used to create temporary files or directories securely. It generates a unique and safely-named temporary file or directory based on a template provided by the user.
