unix terminal man
The man command is used to understand other commands.
Everytime I’am not sure what a command does,I type :
~$ man <command>
and the shell brings up the manual of the command.
tldr is a very useful resource when you want to learn about a command faster.
Install the command by following instaructions on their official website and then run it like this :
~$ tldr <command>
to get a quick overview of the command.
The good thing about tldr is that it gives you common use cases of the command unlike man.
tldr is not a replacement of man though.
