It would short. One to a few pages.
It would be reference material - not tutorial material. List of
commands and their options, etc., not an explanation of what they are,
how they work, and how to use them. Memory aids, iow, for when you
can't remember whether -r or -R is recursive.
Look at the two we already mentioned - I think they're good examples
of the format.
If you would look at it and say that "Quick Reference" described it
accurately, it's probably right.
