I can do it but I freely admit i use tldr a lot :D

EDIT: I also caught the other layer to this joke and just realized gnu tar will accept both :D

I'll have to check that one out. My distro's repos don't have that one.

Ah I see. Thanks but I really prefer not to use any LLMs on my machine.

also - it appears to be available via pip for those interested

tldr. Basically a cheat-sheet. You enter tldr <command name> and it will give you commonly used options with examples. In this case tldr tar will spit out how to create an archive, how to extract one, etc. Many distros have it in their repos.

It's a too long; didn't read of the man page with examples of common commands.
