man:tldr:652fb

man: Display the man page using a specific locale.
$ man ${command} --locale=${locale}
try on your machine

This command is trying to access the manual entry for a specific command, with the specified locale.

Here's a breakdown of the different components:

  • man: This is the command to access the manual. It is used to display documentation and information about various commands, utilities, and functions available in the system.
  • ${command}: This is a placeholder for the specific command that you want to find the manual for. You need to replace ${command} with the actual name of the command you want to look up.
  • --locale=${locale}: This option is used to set the locale for the manual. Locales determine the language, formatting, and cultural conventions used in a particular region. ${locale} is another placeholder that needs to be replaced with the desired locale.

By combining these components, the command will display the manual entry for the specified command, using the specified locale. This can be useful when you need to find detailed information, usage instructions, and examples for a particular command using a specific language or regional format.
