Research direction
Research the 'purge' command on macOS to understand its options and behavior. Check the conversation in #19794 for context. Look at existing tldr pages for similar commands (e.g., 'dscacheutil') to follow the format. Then create a new page for 'purge' following the tldr contribution guidelines.
