To refer to one directory above current directory, use the characters To refer to the current directory, use the . character Manipulating Files Exam Objective Creating, Moving and Deleting Files Objective Summary Case sensitivity Simply globbing and quoting Listing files in a directory List files with the ls command Different file types may be highlighted by colored filenames: plain file A file that isn't a special file type directory A directory file (contains other files) executable A file that can be run like a program symbolic link A file that points to another file Display of filenames in color is the result of the --color option Common ls options Many options to the ls command, including: -a – display all files, including hidden files -l – long display listing -h – Give file sizes in human readable sizes -R – Recursive listing -S – Sort output based on file size -t – Sort output based on modification time -d – Don’t display directory contents Copying files The cp command copies files: cp [source] [destination] Use –v option to display copy process Use –i to prompt overwrites Use –n to avoid overwrites Use –r to copy directory structures Moving files The mv command copies files: mv [source] [destination] The mv command also is used to rename files Supported options that work the same as the cp command: -i, -n and –v Creating files Editors can be used to create files (discussed later in this course) Use the touch command to create an empty file The touch command also updates the modification timestamp of a file Removing files The rm command is used to delete files File deletion is permanent! Use -i to avoid accidental deletion when using globs Delete directories with the –r option or rmdir if the directory is completely empty Making directories Use the mkdir command to create directories
