tldr: Print the tldr page for a specific command (hint: this is how you got here!).
$ tldr ${command}
try on your machine
The command "tldr ${command}" is used to quickly display concise and simplified example usages of a specific command or utility.
Here's how it works:
- "tldr" stands for "too long, didn't read" and is a command-line tool that provides simplified and practical examples of command usage.
- "${command}" represents the specific command/utility you want to learn about or get usage examples for. You need to replace "${command}" with the actual command you want to know more about.
When you execute "tldr ${command}" in the command line, the tool will retrieve and display a short summary of the command, followed by practical examples on how to use it. These examples are aimed at providing quicker understanding and usage hints compared to reading through lengthy official documentation or man pages.
