→Part 1: Using the Linux Shell
With the Linux OS containing over '''2500''' commands and utilities, it is good for a Linux user or sysadmin to learn about how to use commands “on-the-fly”.<br><br>
The '''man''' command can provide information on how to use a command <br>(i.e. '''command usage''', '''acceptable command arguments''', '''command options''', '''examples''').<br>The commands are classified into sections or '''volumes'''.<br><br>
# Issue the following command: <span style="font-family:courier;color:blue;font-weight:bold">man man</span><br>How many volume '''numbers''' are contained in the man pages (like '''executable commands/programs''', '''games''', or '''system administrator commands''')?<br><br>
# Press the letter <span style="font-family:courier;color:blue;font-weight:bold">q</span> to exit the man command.<br><br>
