If no file name is given, the space +available on all currently mounted filesystems is shown. + + + + +ls, dir and vdir + + +dir and vdir are versions of ls with different default output formats. +These programs list each given file or directory name. Directory contents +are sorted alphabetically. For ls, files are by default listed in columns, +sorted vertically, if the standard output is a terminal; otherwise they +are listed one per line. For dir, files are by default listed in columns, +sorted vertically. For vdir, files are by default listed in long format. + + + + +dircolors + + +dircolors outputs commands to set the LS_COLOR environment variable. +The LS_COLOR variable is use to change the default color scheme used by +ls and related utilities. + + + + +du + + +du displays the amount of disk space used by each argument and for each +subdirectory of directory arguments. + + + + +install + + +install copies files and sets their permission modes and, if possible, +their owner and group. + + + + +ln + + +ln makes hard or soft (symbolic) links between files. + + + + +mkdir + + +mkdir creates directories with a given name. + + + + +mkfifo + + +mkfifo creates a FIFO with each given name. + + + + +mknod + + +mknod creates a FIFO, character special file, or block special file with the +given file name. + + + + +mv + + +mv moves files from one directory to another or renames files, depending +on the arguments given to mv. + + + + +rm + + +rm removes files or directories. + + + + +rmdir + + +rmdir removes directories, if they are empty. + + + + +sync + + +sync forces changed blocks to disk and updates the super block. + + + + +touch + + +touch changes the access and modification times of each given file to the +current time. Files that do not exist are created empty. + + + + + + -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
