The tldr command is a simplified alternative to the traditional man pages in Linux. It provides concise and easy-to-understand explanations for various command-line tools.

In this specific command, tldr -p linux wc, we are using tldr to get information about the wc command, which stands for "word count". The -p linux option is used to specify that we want the description for the wc command in the Linux context.

The wc command is commonly used to count the number of words, lines, and characters in a file or a stream of input. It is particularly helpful for analyzing text data. The tldr command with the wc argument will display a brief summary of the wc command's usage, its options, and examples of how to use it.
