-===== Basic command line programs =====
-==== Looking around ====
-> Looking through files is done with the ''%%ls%%'' command under Linux, which is an abreviation for ''%%list%%''.
-By default (meaning without parameters) the ''%%ls%%'' command shows the content in the current directory. It does hide elements starting with a dot though. These hidden elements can be shown by adding the ''%%-a%%'' parameter, which stands for ''%%all%%''. If you want detailed information about the elements, add the ''%%-l%%'' parameter for ''%%long listing%%''. You can also specify a file/directory which you want to examine, by just appending the path to the command.
-<code>
-$ ls      # shows files and directories
-testdir  test
-$ ls -a   # includes hidden ones
-.  ..  testdir  test
-$ ls -l   # detailed view
-drwxr-xr-x 1 myuser p12345 0 Apr 13  2017 testdir

-drwx------  2 myuser mygroup   76 Dec 12  2016 .ssh
-</code>
-==== Moving around ====
-> Moving through directories is done with the ''%%cd%%'' command, which stands for ''%%change directory%%''.
-The ''%%cd%%'' command can be called without any arguments, in which case it just switches to the home directory. Otherwise it takes a absolute (starting with a dash) or relative path as an argument and switches to that directory. The argument ''%%-%%'' (just a single dash) will cause cd to switch to the previous directory. This can be used to alternate between two directories without typing their path's every time.
-<code>
-$ cd /bin   # go to an absolute directory
-$ cd [~]    # go home
-$ cd -      # go to previous directory
-</code>
-==== Copying & moving files around ====
-> Copying and moving files and directories is done with the ''%%cp%%'' and ''%%mv%%'' commands, which stand for ''%%copy%%'' and ''%%move%%'' respectively.
-Both commands take at least two parameters, which correspond to the ''%%<SOURCE>%%'' and ''%%<DESTINATION>%%'' files or directories. For ''%%cp%%'' to work with directories as a source, it needs the ''%%-r%%'' (recursive) or ''%%-a%%'' (archive) flag.
-> Beware of the pitfalls! you can overwrite data and therefor lose it, without getting any confirmation prompt! If in doubt use ''%%-i%%'' (interactive) flag.
-<code>
-$ mv old   new     # rename old to new
-$ mv old   dir/    # move old into dir
-$ mv file1 file2   # overwrite file2 with file1
-                   # (BEWARE)
-</code>
-<code>
-$ cp -i input input.bak   # input to input.bak
-$ cp -i input backup/     # input into backup
-$ cp -a dir1/ dir2        # exact copy of dir1
-</code>
-==== Creating and deleting ====
-=== directories ===
-> creating directories is done with the ''%%mkdir%%'' command, which stands for ''%%make directory%%''.
-The ''%%mkdir%%'' command takes an optional ''%%-p%%'' (parents) parameter and a path. When optional parameter is given, it will create all the ancestors of the specified directory aswell. Otherwise the command fails if the directory either exists already or its parent doesn't exist either.
-> deleting directories is done with the ''%%rmdir%%'' command, which stands for ''%%remove directory%%''.
-This command removes the specified directory, but only if it's already empty. it can also take an optional ''%%-p%%'' parameter, in which case it removes the specified directory and all the ancestors you included.
-==== Finding stuff ====
-> To look at everything
-  - in your home directory
-  - and nested up to three levels deep inside it
-  - that ends in ''%%.txt%%''
-  - or starts with ''%%log_%%''
-  - and is an ordinary file
-  - concatenated as one stream:
-<code bash>
-find \
-  ~ \
-  -maxdepth 3 \
-  -iname "*.txt" \
-  -or -iname "log_*" \
-  -type f \
-  -exec cat '{}' \; | less
-</code>
-<code bash>
-find \
-  ~ \
-  -maxdepth 3 \
-  -iname "*.txt" \
-  -or -iname "log_*" \
-  -type f \
-  -exec cat '{}' +  | less
-</code>
-==== Contents of files ====
-> **viewing** is done by the **''%%less%%''** command:
-> **concatenating** is done by the **''%%cat%%''** command:
-<code>
-$ less file.txt      # exit with 'q'
-$ less -R file.txt   # keep colors
-$ cat file1 file2 | less
-</code>
-<code>
-$ cat file
-$ cat -A printable
-$ cat -n numbered

-<code>
-$ echo "VSC is great" > file
-$ cat file
-VSC is great

-<code>

-VSC is great
-VSC is awesome
-</code>
-<code>
-$ cat file | grep awesome
-VSC is awesome
-</code>
-<code>
-$ grep awesome file
-VSC is awesome
-</code>
-==== Space accounting ====
-> viewing **used space** is done by the **''%%du%%''** (disk usage) command:
-> viewing **free space** is done by the **''%%df%%''** (disk free) command:
-<code>
-$ du -h file1 file2   # human readable output
-$ du -s dir           # summarize
-</code>
