The command you provided is using the tldr
command-line tool with the -p
flag to check for the availability of a command in a specific platform or operating system. In this case, the platform specified is linux
. The command being checked for availability is true
.
The true
command in Linux is a built-in command that does nothing and always returns a successful exit status. It is typically used as a placeholder or for testing purposes, where a command with no action is required.
By using tldr -p linux true
, you are asking the tldr
tool to check if the true
command is available and provide a condensed summary (in the form of a "Too Long, Didn't Read" response) for the command if it exists for the Linux platform. If the command is not available or if the tldr
tool doesn't have a summary for it, it may provide an appropriate message indicating so.
