Command Execution

To make your request comprehensible to the Unix system, you must present each command in the correct format or command line syntax. This syntax defines the order in which you enter the various components of a command line. Without using this syntax, the Unix system shell will not be able to interpret your request correctly. You can get the command line syntax from the command's man page. For example:

command   [option(s)]  [argument(s)]

Where command is the name of the command you wish to run, options modified how the command works, and arguments specified the data on which the command is to operate. The basic syntax for some commands would be as follows:

TaskShell command
Create a directorymkdir directory
Move or rename a filemv source target
Copy a file or directorycp source target
Delete a directory a directoryrmdir directory
Manual informationman command
