$ tldr -p linux talk
try on your machine

The command "tldr -p linux talk" is composed of three parts: "tldr", "-p", and "linux talk".

  1. "tldr" stands for "too long; didn't read", and it is a command-line utility that provides concise, simplified, and practical summaries of various terminal commands.

  2. "-p" is an option flag in the command. It stands for "platform" and is used to specify the operating system or platform for which you want to view the command summary. In this case, it is set to "linux", indicating that you are interested in the Linux version of the command.

  3. "talk" is the specific command for which you want a summary. "talk" is a command-line utility used for interactive communication between users on a Unix-like system. It enables two users to have a real-time text-based conversation in separate terminal windows.

So, when you execute the "tldr -p linux talk" command, it will provide you with a concise summary or description of the "talk" command, specifically for the Linux platform.
