The command "tldr" is a simplified version of the traditional "man" command, used to provide concise and straightforward explanations of various terminal commands, tools, and concepts. It aims to provide users with quick and easily understandable documentation.

When executing the command "tldr -p linux paste", it displays a simplified summary of the "paste" command in Linux. The "paste" command is generally used to merge lines from multiple input files. It takes two or more input files and concatenates the corresponding lines from each file, separated by a delimiter (usually a tab character).

The "-p linux" option in the command specifies that the summary should be from the "linux" community-driven collection of tldr pages, which are specifically tailored for Linux-based systems.

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.
