$ tldr -p linux telnet
try on your machine

The command "tldr -p linux telnet" is a combination of two separate commands: "tldr" and "telnet".

  1. "tldr" is an abbreviation for "Too Long; Didn't Read". It is a command-line tool that provides simplified and concise explanations of various terminal commands. Running "tldr" followed by a command name displays a short, easy-to-understand summary of that command.

  2. "telnet" is a network protocol used to establish a remote connection with another computer on a network. It allows a user to log in remotely and access the command-line interface of the remote machine.

Combining the two commands with "-p linux" option, the full command "tldr -p linux telnet" is used to display a brief summary of the "telnet" command specifically on Linux-based operating systems.
