Frequently Asked Questions

Definitions come from our database and are sourced from official documentation and manual pages so that you don't have to read them. We have technical writers constantly improving definitions to make sure they're consistent, concise and can stand alone. We are also constantly adding programs to our database. 

The definitions returned in kmdr-cli and the browser extension are the same. If already using your browser, the learner experience is more streamlined with the browser extension. The extension also supports more advanced features than kmdr-cli such as multi-line commands.

Chrome users will receive updates as soon as we release the new version.

Chrome

Google Pay or any other credit card like Visa, MasterCard and American Express. We use Stripe as our payment platform.

The ability to select multiple lines of code using the extension means you can get explanations for full files, or parts of a script that you want to understand. The program, subcommand or option that you want to learn may very well be a part of a complex structure that's multiple lines and when that's the case you'll want to use the kmdr extension. We use syntax highlighting to help you differentiate the parts of the code you are looking at and explain the attributes of the commands within it.

Bash

No. As of now, you can only use kmdr-cli and the browser extension as long as those clients can reach out to our API backend servers.
