SYNOPSIS

6       cheat [option] command
7

DESCRIPTION

9       cheat  displays  a cheatsheet for popular posix commands. It's designed
10       to help remind system administrators of options and syntax for commands
11       that they use frequently, but not frequently enough to remember.
12
13       Cheat  differs  from  info or man in that cheat is example-centric. You
14       learn from cheatsheets by seeing common examples of how the command  is
15       used,  rather than reading about every option technically available. In
16       other words, cheat is not complete, but by design. It shows you  how  a
17       command is most frequently used, and that's all.
