For even more brevity, there's tldr [1], which is short-n-sweet "how do I do the most common things with this tool."

You'll need a client for it (tldr itself is just the database). I recommend tealdeer [2].

Example:

    $ tldr tar

      Archiving utility.
      Often combined with a compression method, such as gzip or bzip2.
      More information: <https://www.gnu.org/software/tar>.

      [c]reate an archive and write it to a [f]ile:

          tar cf target.tar file1 file2 file3

      [c]reate a g[z]ipped archive and write it to a [f]ile:

          tar czf target.tar.gz file1 file2 file3

That helpful bracketing notation is going to break down as soon as you actually want to deal with bzip2.

There's no real problem, but I never like it when I'm given an example that seems to be going out of its way to suggest something untrue.
