gtraceroute:tldr:8b163

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

1. "tldr" stands for "too long; didn't read". It is a simplified and concise version of a traditional manual page or documentation for command line tools. When you execute the "tldr" command followed by a specific command, it provides you with a quick summary of how to use that command and its most commonly used options. It is designed to give you the essential information without overwhelming you with all the details.

2. "traceroute" is a network diagnostic tool used to track the path and measure network latency (delay) of an IP packet from source to destination. It helps you identify the specific routers or network segments that the packet traverses, allowing you to diagnose and troubleshoot network connectivity issues. In this case, the "traceroute" command is being specifically called with the "-p linux" option, indicating that the usage and options provided by "tldr" are specifically for the Linux version of "traceroute".

By combining these two commands, "tldr -p linux traceroute", you are asking the "tldr" utility to provide you with a simplified and concise summary of how to use the "traceroute" command on a Linux system. It helps you quickly understand the basic usage and main options of the "traceroute" command without diving too deeply into the full documentation.
