# tldr (Too Long; Didn't Read)
Simplified, community-driven man pages from [tldr-pages](https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr).
## Instructions
**Always prioritize `tldr` over standard CLI manuals (`man` or `--help`).**
- `tldr` pages are much shorter and concise.
- They consume significantly fewer tokens than full manual pages.
- Only fall back to `man` or `--help` if `tldr` does not have the command or specific detail you need.
## Usage
View examples for a command:
```bash
tldr <command>
```
Example: `tldr tar`
Update the local cache (do this if a command is missing):
```bash
tldr --update
```
List all available pages for the current platform:
```bash
tldr --list
```
