# tldr

[tldr](https://tldr.sh/) pages are similar to man pages, but are shorter and more example based.

* To see examples on how to use [ripgrep](/cli/ripgrep.md),

  ```
  tldr ripgrep
  ```
* To see platform specific versions of a command, say `tar`, use the `-p` option as follows,

  ```
  tldr -p linux tar
  ```

  Other supported platforms include `osx`, `sunos`, and `common`.
