Linux Commands - Overview and Examples
The command line is one of the most powerful features of Linux. There exists a sea of Linux command line tools, allowing you to do almost everything you can think of doing on your Linux PC. However, this usually creates a problem: with so many commands available to use, you don't know where and how to start learning them, especially when you are beginner.

本文的特点是非常简洁,将繁杂的Linux命令行筛选出100条左右,非常适合入门学习。 此外,将领域知识以“条目+示例”的方式来整理,类似编字典一样,在编辑的过程中可以促进学习者加深认识,也方便日后持续改进(增加注解、参考文献、索引等),是一种不错的学习方法。 最后,整理这些命令行的时候,我体会到操作系统最重要的工作实际就是对文件的管理,创建、移动、查看、编辑、销毁、检索,都是围绕文件的操作,事实上也是实际工作中使用最频繁的需求。对开发者来说,以Linux命令行为模版,命名风格、人机交互、小而美的实现方式,促进自己在其它领域的应用、提高大有裨益。
Adduser/Addgroup
The adduser and addgroup commands lets you add a new user and group to a system, respectively. Here's an example for adduser:
$ sudo adduser testuserAdding user `testuser' ...Adding new group `testuser' (1003) ...Adding new user `testuser' (1003) with group `testuser' ...Creating home directory `/home/testuser' ...Copying files from `/etc/skel' ...Enter new UNIX password:
Arch
The arch command is used to print the machine's architecture. For example:
$ archi686Not sure what 'i686' means? Head here.
Cal/Ncal
The cal and ncal commands display a calendar in the output.
$ calMarch 2017Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa1 2 3 45 6 7 8 9 10 1112 13 14 15 16 17 1819 20 21 22 23 24 2526 27 28 29 30 31$ ncalMarch 2017Su 5 12 19 26Mo 6 13 20 27Tu 7 14 21 28We 1 8 15 22 29Th 2 9 16 23 30Fr 3 10 17 24 31Sa 4 11 18 25
Cat
The cat command allows you to concatenate files, or data provided on standard input, and print it on the standard output. In layman terms, the command prints the information provided to it, whether through stdin or in the form a file.
$ cat test.txtHello...how are you?
Cd
The cd command is used to change user's present working directory.
$ cd /home/himanshu/
Chgrp
The chgrp command allows you to change the group ownership of a file. The command expects new group name as its first argument and the name of file (whose group is being changed) as second argument.
$ chgrp howtoforge test.txt
Chmod
The chmod command lets you change access permissions for a file. For example, if you have a binary file (say helloWorld), and you want to make it executable, you can run the following command:
chmod +x helloWorld
Chown
The chown command allows you to change the ownership and group of a file. For example, to change the owner of a file test.txt to root, as well as set its group as root, execute the following command:
chown root:root test.txt
Cksum
The cksum command prints the CRC checksum and byte count for the input file.
$ cksum test.txt3741370333 20 test.txtNot sure what checksum is? Head here.

$ cmp file1 file2file1 file2 differ: byte 1, line 1
Comm
The comm command is used to compare two sorted files line-by-line. For example, if 'file1' contains numbers 1-5 and 'file2' contains number 4-8, here's what the 'comm' command produces in this case:
$ comm file1 file2
支持选项:
-1:不显示在第一个文件出现的内容;-2:不显示在第二个文件中出现的内容;-3:不显示同时在两个文件中都出现的内容。
Cp
The cp command is used for copying files and directories.
$ cp test.txt /home//himanshu/Desktop/
Csplit
The csplit command lets you split a file into sections determined by context lines. For example, to split a file into two where the first part contains 'n-1' lines and the second contains the rest, use the following command:

The two parts are saved as files with names 'xx00' and 'xx01', respectively.

diff3 file1 file2 file3
Dir
The dir command lists directory contents. For example:
$ dirtest1 test2 test.7z test.zip
Dirname
The dirname command strips last component from a file name/path. In layman's terms, you can think of it as a tool that, for example, removes file name from the file's absolute path.
$ dirname /home/himanshu/file1/home/himanshu
Dmidecode
The dmidecode command prints a system's DMI (aka SMBIOS) table contents in a human-readable format.
$ sudo dmidecode# dmidecode 2.12SMBIOS 2.6 present.50 structures occupying 2056 bytes.Table at 0x000FCCA0.Handle 0x0000, DMI type 0, 24 bytesBIOS InformationVendor: American Megatrends Inc.Version: 080015Release Date: 08/22/2011.........
DMI (Desktop Management Interface, DMI)就是帮助收集电脑系统信息的管理系统,DMI信息的收集必须在严格遵照SMBIOS规范的前提下进行。 SMBIOS(System Management BIOS)是主板或系统制造者以标准格式显示产品管理信息所需遵循的统一规范。SMBIOS和DMI是由行业指导机构Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF)起草的开放性的技术标准,其中DMI设计适用于任何的平台和操作系统。
