.SH "DESCRIPTION" | ||
.PP | ||
.B tldr\-man | ||
is a command\-line client for \f[B]tldr\-pages\f[R], | ||
a collection of community\-maintained help pages for command\-line tools. | ||
It differs from other clients because it displays its pages as | ||
.BR man (1) | ||
pages. | ||
.PP | ||
This client is able to integrate with the | ||
.BR man (1) | ||
command to fall back to displaying a tldr\-page for a command when no manpage exists. | ||
.PP | ||
The | ||
.BR pandoc (1) | ||
tool must be installed and present on | ||
.B $PATH | ||
for tldr\-man to function. Instructions for installing pandoc can be found at | ||
.UR https://pandoc.org/installing.html | ||
.UE . | ||
.SH "OPTIONS" | ||
.SS Arguments | ||
.TP | ||
.IR PAGE ... | ||

.TP | ||
.BR \-M ", " \-\-manpage | ||

See the | ||
.B MAN INTEGRATION | ||
section for more information. | ||
.TP | ||
.BR \-r " " \f[I]FILE\f[R] ", " \-\-render = \f[I]FILE\f[R] | ||
Instead of displaying a page, render | ||
.I FILE | ||
(in the tldr\-pages markdown format) in the | ||
.BR roff (7) | ||
format and display it. | ||
.TP | ||
.BR \-u ", " \-\-update | ||
Update the local cache of rendered | ||
.BR man (1) | ||
pages by getting the updated list of pages from the internet and rendering them. | ||
This command must be run before any pages are displayed. | ||
.TP | ||
.BR \-v ", " \-\-version | ||
Print this command\[aq]s version and exit. | ||
.TP | ||
.BR \-h ", " \-\-help | ||
Print this command\[aq]s help and exit. | ||
.SS General Options | ||
.TP | ||
.BR \-L " " \f[I]LANGUAGE\f[R] ", " \-\-language = \f[I]LANGUAGE\f[R] | ||
Set the language to display. Overrides any languages specified by environment variables. | ||
.I LANGUAGE | ||
must be a country code, such as | ||
.BR en ", " es ", " fr ", " zh ", or " zh_TW . | ||
.TP | ||
.BR \-p " " \f[I]PLATFORM\f[R] ", " \-\-platform = \f[I]PLATFORM\f[R] | ||
Set the platform to display. | ||

must be one of | ||
.BR android ", " linux ", " macos ", " osx ", " sunos ", and " windows . | ||
.SH "EXIT STATUS" | ||
.PP | ||
If tldr\-man completes successfully, it will return exit code \f[B]0\f[R]. | ||
Nonzero exit codes have the following meanings: | ||
.TP | ||
.B 1 | ||
General error | ||
.TP | ||
.B 2 | ||
Invalid usage | ||
.TP | ||
.B 3 | ||
Page cache does not exist | ||
.TP | ||
.B 127 | ||
The external commands | ||
.BR man (1) | ||
or | ||
.BR pandoc (1) | ||
were not found on | ||
.B $PATH | ||
.SH "ENVIRONMENT" | ||
.TP | ||
.BR TLDR_LANGUAGE ", " LANGUAGE ", " LANG | ||
If the | ||
.RB [ \-L | \-\-language ] | ||
option is not set, these environment variables determine the languages that are displayed. \ | ||
Each variable must contain a colon\-separated list of languages, | ||
which will be checked in order until an existing page is found. | ||
For example, | ||
.B en:fr:zh_TW | ||
is a valid value for each of these variables. | ||
The order of priority is | ||
.BR TLDR_LANGUAGE ", " LANGUAGE ", " LANG , | ||
with the values of | ||
.B TLDR_LANGUAGE | ||
being checked first and | ||
.B LANG | ||
being checked last. | ||
If none of these environment variables are set or if no valid pages exist for any of the languages, | ||
this defaults back to | ||
.BR en . | ||
.SH "FILES" | ||
.TP | ||
.BR $XDG_CACHE_HOME/tldr_man | ||
The location that the tldr\-pages (in | ||
.BR roff (7) | ||
format) are stored. | ||
This directory is created by running the | ||
.B tldr \-\-update | ||
.R command, and the cache is accessed by | ||
.B tldr | ||
.IR PAGE , | ||
.BR "tldr \-\-list" ", and" | ||
.BR "tldr \-\-manpath" " commands." | ||
