        Yet another python client for
        `tldr <https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr>`__.
        
        Intro
        -----
        
        tldr.py is a python client for
        `tldr <https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr>`__: simplified and
        community-driven man pages. Instead of the long man pages:
        
        .. figure:: https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/5268051/10731428/5b5fd2fc-7c30-11e5-8cb1-4a3a24218ede.jpeg
           :alt: tar-man-page
        
        tldr will give you several simple yet powerful examples:

           :alt: tar-tldr-page
        
        The command examples are not good? Don't worry, you can set up your own
        'tldr'! They are just markdown files and you can modify them at your
        ease. Don't forget to Share them with the community!
        
        One more thing, tldr is just a simple version for the man page, it's
        **NOT** an alternative. Sometimes, you should read the man pages
        patiently ;)
        
        Features highlight
        ------------------
        
        -  use local file, fast.
        -  support custom the output color.
        -  support fetch the latest tldr pages.
        -  support rebuild the index.
        
        Install
        -------
        
        ::
        
           $ (sudo) pip install tldr.py
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        Initialize with script
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        ::
        
           $ curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lord63/tldr.py/master/install.sh | bash
        
        Initialize by hand
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        -  firstly, clone the tldr repo to somewhere(e.g. ~/code/tldr). We will
           use it when we look for a command usage.
        
           ::
        
               $ cd ~/code
               $ git clone https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr.git
        
        -  then, init the configuration file, the default location for the
           configuration file is your home directory, you can use the
           ``TLDR_CONFIG_DIR`` environment variable to point it to another
           folder(e.g. $HOME/.config)
        
           ::
        
               $ tldr init
               Input the tldr repo path: (e.g. /home/lord63/code/tldr/)
               Input your platform(linux, osx or sunos): (e.g. linux)
               Initializing the config file at ~/.tldrrc
        
        and you configuration file should look like this:
        
        ::
        
            colors:
               command: cyan
               description: blue
               usage: green
            platform: linux
            repo_directory: /home/lord63/code/tldr
        
        Don't worry about the ``colors`` option, it is for the output when you
        look for a command, you can custom it by yourself.(Note that the color
        should be in ['black', 'red', 'green', 'yellow', 'blue', 'magenta',
        'cyan', 'white'])
        
        -  finally, build the index. Tldr.py will find the command via the
           index.json. After a new fresh clone or when you add some new pages,
           remember to rebuild the index.
        
           ::
        
               $ tldr reindex
               Rebuild the index.
        
        Use tldr
        ~~~~~~~~
        
        look for a command usage:
        
        ::
        
            $ tldr find {{command}}
        
        check for updates(so that we can get the latest man pages):
        
        ::
        
            $ tldr update
        
        rebuild the index.json after you add some new pages:
        
        ::
        
            $ tldr reindex
        
        locate the command man page:
        
        ::
        
            $ tldr locate {{command}}
        
        Or you can use ``tldr --help`` to get the help message.
        
        FAQ
        ---
        
            Q: I want to add some custom command usages to a command, how to do
            it?
        
        A: Find the location of the command page; add the command usages; done.
        
            Q: I want to add some custom command pages, how?
        
        A: Add the command pages to the right folder(e.g. /tldrrepo/pages/linux);
        rebuild the index; done.
        
            Q: I want a short command like ``tldr COMMAND``, not ``tldr find COMMAND``.
        
        A: I'm afraid not, but you can add an alias: ``alias howto='tldr find'``, then use ``howto tar``.
        
            Q: I want fuzzy find command usage.
        
        A : Opition one: ``tldr list | grep KEYWORD``, option two(suggested way): install fzf_ first,
        then use ``tldr list | fzf | xargs -I{} tldr find {}``, you will love it.
        
            Q: I don't like the default color theme, how to change it?
        
        A: Edit the tldr configuration file at ``~/.tldrrc``; modify the color
        until you're happy with it.
        
            Q: I faided to update the tldr pages, why?
        
        A: Actually, ``tldr.py`` just tries to pull the latest tldr pages for
        you, no magic behinds it. So the reason why you faided to update is that
        ``tldr.py`` failed to pull the latest upstream, check the failing output
        and you may know the reason, e.g. you make some changes and haven't
        commit them yet. You can pull the pages by hand so you can have a better
        control on it.
        
            Q: Why use the git repo instead of the assets packaged by the
            official?
        
        A: In fact, you can use the offical assets if you want, download the
        assets and extract it somewhere, but ``tldr.py`` don't support update it
        using ``tldr update``.
        
        Use a git repo, you can:
        
        -  do the version control, yeah, use git.
        -  better for customization, just edit the pages and add new pages, they
           belongs to you. You can even maintain your own 'tldr'. If use the
           official assets, you'll always get the latest pages.
