mezz Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Don't you know that the manpage exist? Like for "ls", then all you have to do is type man ls to find the more info about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoz7120 Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Not sure if Babalau has access to Linux where he is so was helping him out. I only use unix when im at work. Yep I do know about the existanace of the man pages...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BxBoy Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 your welcome Babalau....... Got them off the top of my head BxBoy.... been using Unix for years and they are just general commands. btw which ones did you manage to get? :yes: pretty much all the commands except for script and arch.. the rest of the commands I know very well, just not too sure of the parameters. I've been using UNIX/LINUX variants for more than 5 years, so it wasn't too difficult for myself either. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the evn show Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 arch tells you want the current architecture of the computer is - the type of processor. ie: x86 (on a PC), or PPC (on a mac), mips (on some workstations), etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
