Displaying DetailPage using Command Link

<apex:param> is the child of <apex:commandLink>. Passing the record ID in the value of the param component and fetching it by currentPage.parameters.rId.

Here we have a visualforce page fetching the records by using a standardcontroller. On click of the commandlink,  the detail page of the record would be displayed.
