tldr is a tool for reading short and concise versions of man-pages.
There are several implementation, please see the tldr website for a complete list.
Hence the name, which is short for:
Too long; Didn't read
You can (as I learned with man-pages back in the day) do:
$ tldr tldr
tldr
Command-line client for tldr-pages.
Displays simplified and community-driven man pages.
