TLDR (Too Long; Didn't Read): TLDR is a tool that provides concise and simplified summaries of various command-line commands. It is designed to help users quickly understand the usage and functionality of different commands without having to go through lengthy manual pages. By executing "tldr", you can get a short summary and examples of how to use a particular command.
Timeout: Timeout is a command used to limit the duration of a command or process execution. It allows you to specify a time limit for a command to complete, after which it will be terminated automatically. The "timeout" command is particularly helpful when you want to prevent a command from running indefinitely or if you want to ensure that a process doesn't consume excessive resources.

So, the command "tldr -p linux timeout" is basically a way to get a summarized description and usage examples of the "timeout" command, specifically for the Linux operating system.
