§ HOW TO READ MAN PAGE FOR NOVICES BEGINNING §
Having trouble reading man pages? THIS GUIDE
WILL GUIDE YOU WITH THE BARE MINIMUM SKILLS TO
GET YOU STARTED.
THERE ARE THOUSANDS [if not, millions as of
writing this] COMMANDS THAT EXIST PACKAGED
TOGETHER WITH THE LINUX KERNEL. AS YOU MIGHT
IMAGINE, THE AMOUNT OF MAN PAGES QUICKLY ADD
UP BECOMING OVERLY OBTUSE FOR THE HUMAN MIND
TO COMPREHEND. SO, FOR THIS REASON, MAN PAGES
ARE GROUPED INTO ENUMARATED SECTIONS. THIS
SYSTEM HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME.
EVENTUALLY, BECOMING CONFUSING FOR A NEWCOMER
TO '©nix-like' SYSTEMS. WAYS HAVE BEEN
SOUGHT TO TEACH ALIKE A NOVICE BUT MUCH HAS
FAILED MISERABLY.
#This crappy guide written in /CMD.EXE EDIT\ WILL
SERVE YOU A "WELL-WRITTEN" INTRO TO MAN PAGES.
WE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT ls AND rm. \n
for obvious reasons, there are 60 and 12 options
respectively, so we have to save some disk space
and keep this document tidy \f
SYPNOSIS
ls [OPTION]... [FILE]...
ls just means list directory and contents so with
the options virtually, append one to it, one may
not fear as it will not overwrite anything...
unless you are foolish enough to rm -rf /
for example;
ls -l
-rw-rw-r-- 1 aeb 37 bytes Aug 6 23:51 tel
AS YOU CAN SEE, APPENDING OPTIONS WITH THIS COMMON
OPTION DOES NOTHING BAD. /f
SYPNOSIS
rm [OPTION].. [FILE]...
rm -r /tmp/weWillMeetAgain
THIS DELETES THE CONTENTS OF THE DIRECTORY. PROMPTS
FOR COMFIRMATION IF MORE THAN 3 FILES ARE DELETED.
