Linux man page helper (Cheat)
I have been running cheat-sh for awhile now and I tell you this is better then "tldr" or "tealdeer" from a rust crate.
Example of cheat:
cheat-sh stat
cheat.sheets:stat
stat
Display file or file system status
display numerical values for file permissions
stat -c '%a %n' *
Display only the octal permissions for the given directory. Great for tests.
stat --format='%a' /boot
tldr:stat
stat
Display file and filesystem information.
More information: https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/stat-invocation.html.
Show file properties such as size, permissions, creation and access dates among others:
stat file
Same as above but in a more concise way:
stat -t file
Show filesystem information:
stat -f file
Show only octal file permissions:
stat -c "%a %n" file
Show owner and group of the file:
stat -c "%U %G" file
Show the size of the file in bytes:
stat -c "%s %n" file
Cheat has helped me out a lot since I can't memorize everything
