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

       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.
