Sybex Inc. All rights reserved. The approach taken here is to provide a quick reference to the syntax and common options for many major Linux commands. In this reference, we present the overall syntax of commands using the style found in standard Linux man pages, and then provide a description of the command followed by a description of major flags and arguments. In order to keep the reference to a reasonable size, most interactive programs, daemons, and Red Hat specific commands have been excluded. Even so, there are almost 200 commands covered in this Appendix.
Commands appear in alphabetical order.
