     15 <p>I got annoyed that the tldr client I was using downloaded pages only a week after they were last downloaded. (How often do the options of coreutils change?)</p>
     16 <p>When I searched for a setting to only use the cache, I realized that I wasn't using most features of the client across its hundreds of lines of code, so I wrote my own with only what I need.</p>
     17 <p>The script uses cat to output the markdown, making it instantaneous. The only arguments are the command and optionally a platform. You can find it <a href="/git/dotfiles/file/.local/bin/tldr.html">here</a>, and the latest release of the tldr pages <a href="https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/releases/latest/download/tldr.zip">here</a>.</p>
     18 <p>When searching for a subcommand (e.g., git log), use a hyphen, preventing "log" from being used as the platform.</p>
