The command "tldr -p linux stty" is composed of three parts: "tldr", "-p linux", and "stty". Here's what each part does:

  1. "tldr": "tldr" stands for "Too Long; Didn't Read". It is a command-line utility used to provide concise and easy-to-understand summaries of other commands or concepts. It's particularly useful for quickly getting the gist of a command without going through lengthy documentation.

  2. "-p linux": The "-p" flag in "tldr" stands for "platform" and is used to specify the platform or operating system for which you want to get command summaries. In this case, "linux" is specified as the platform, indicating that you want to retrieve the summary specific to the Linux operating system.

  3. "stty": "stty" is a command-line utility in Unix-like operating systems, including Linux, used to configure and display terminal line settings. It allows users to manipulate various terminal device parameters, such as baud rate, echo mode, and control characters.

So, the "tldr -p linux stty" command is asking the "tldr" utility to provide a summarized description and usage examples for the "stty" command on Linux.
