The command tldr -p linux seq is used to get a summarized explanation or simplified usage instructions for the seq command in Linux, using the tldr tool.

seq is a command-line utility in Linux that generates a sequence of numbers. It can be used to create a list of numbers that increment or decrement by a specified increment. By default, it prints the numbers from the first given argument (or 1 if not provided) to the second given argument (or indefinitely if only one argument is provided).

The tldr tool is a simplified, community-driven alternative to traditional man pages. It provides concise and practical examples and explanations for various command-line tools and utilities. The -p flag in the command is used to specify the platform, and linux is the specified platform in this case. Running the command will display a summarized explanation or usage instructions for the seq command specifically in a Linux environment.
