    Would you agree that man page with good example section of common use cases would better serve the purpose or do you think there has to be separate tool to show only a short summary of the manual?

      I agree that the first option is better because it doesn’t need the support of a third party.

      For most programs, manpage or -h is more than a whole screen of text… 99% of the time i’m just looking for a common usuage example in one line. Tldr provides that very quickly
