The command "tldr nm" is a combination of two separate commands: "tldr" and "nm."

  1. "tldr" stands for "too long, didn't read" and it is a command-line utility commonly used in Unix-like operating systems. It provides simplified and concise explanations of various commands and their usage. When you run the "tldr" command followed by a specific command name, it displays a brief summary of that command, making it easier to understand and use.

  2. "nm" is another command-line utility found in Unix-like systems, particularly in Linux. It is short for "name list" and it is used to display symbols of compiled programs or libraries. The "nm" command allows you to inspect the binary files of an executable or shared object file and retrieve information about symbols such as function names, variables, and addresses.

So, when you run the command "tldr nm," it will display a simplified summary of how to use the "nm" command and what its functionality is. It can help users quickly understand the purpose and basic usage of the "nm" command without going through lengthy documentation or man pages.
