TLDR Tool Basic Usage

Unpopular opinion I hate man pages.

Okay, maybe hate is a strong word and I know what you’re thinking, but hear me out. Without man pages of course most of us would be lost and confused; just fumbling our way around the command-line. Although man pages are such a great resource they can however be quite extensive and hard to find what you need quickly. If that sounds like you then let me introduce you to tldr pages. TLDR is a tool that attempts to simplify the beloved man pages with practical examples. Look at an example below.
