Description

process_id, group_id, and user_id are much more descriptive. These can also be abbreviations of something else so be mindful. pid can be product_id and gid can be gpu_id for example. In addition I would like to see ip converted to ip_address, essid converted to extended_ssid, and bssid converted to basic_ssid. Also if you see a basic id, you can change that to something more descriptive.

I'm open for other abbreviations that should be spelled out. Here are a couple that I've made lowercase https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/pulls?q=is%3Apr%20lowercase%20is%3Aclosed%20author%3Amanagor
