The command "tldr -p linux nice" is composed of two separate commands: "tldr" and "nice," with the -p flag indicating the platform as Linux. Let's break it down:
-
tldr: "tldr" stands for "Too Long; Didn't Read" and is a command-line utility that provides concise and simplified summaries of other commands. It is designed to help users quickly grasp the essentials of a command without having to read lengthy manuals or documentation.
-
-p linux: This flag indicates that we want to search for and display commands specific to the Linux operating system. If you omit this flag, it will show commands for the most common platform associated with your system.
-
nice: "nice" is a command in Linux systems that allows you to adjust the priority of a command/process. It changes the scheduling priority of a process so that it runs with a different "niceness" level, which determines its CPU priority.
When you execute the command "tldr -p linux nice," it will display the tldr entry or summary for the "nice" command on Linux. The tldr summary will provide a succinct explanation of the main features, options, and usage examples of the "nice" command, making it easier to understand its purpose and functionality.
