tldr is a small tool that provides concise, easy-to-read summaries of information from man guides.
The Debian man command does not have the same format as Archcraft Linux.
On Debian, the man command displays man manuals in text format.
In Archcraft Linux, the man command displays man pages in HTML format.
To get the same look as in Archcraft Linux, you can use the tldr program.
The tldr program provides concise, easy-to-read summaries of information
from man manuals in HTML format. To install the tldr program, you can run the
following command in a terminal:
sudo apt install tldr
It very useful for people like me because show many of examples with all arguments and options like this.
For example you forget something in nmap or dirb programm and it easly show you all examples,
ether you waste time of searching in browser.
