Specific Unix Commands

This section lists common Unix commands according to how they're used. We give them here as a reference with the promise that we will discuss most of them within the context of their use later on in the book. If you find it hard to wait, we suggest you set up some temporary or play files, and try these commands out with them as you read. More information will be found in the man pages on your system, other parts of this book, or a real Unix manual.
