gping:tldr:6c58c

The command "tldr -p linux ping" is used to display a simplified version of the man page (manual page) for the "ping" command specifically for the Linux operating system.

Here's a breakdown of the different components of the command:

• "tldr" stands for "too long; didn't read" and is a command-line utility for quickly viewing simplified and concise explanations of various commands.

• "-p linux" is an option or flag to specify that you want the explanation for the "ping" command on the Linux platform. This flag ensures that the tldr utility provides the explanation relevant to Linux. If you omit this flag, tldr will give you the most common explanation across all platforms (e.g., Linux, macOS, Windows).

• "ping" is the command itself, which is used to test the reachability and measure the latency (round-trip time) of a network host. It sends ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Echo Request packets to the target host and waits for an ICMP Echo Reply.

By combining these elements, the "tldr -p linux ping" command fetches and displays a simplified summary of the "ping" command specific to the Linux operating system. This allows users to quickly understand the primary usage and available options of the command without having to go through the full man page.
