Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Image Transcription: Meme

    In Unix there is a "man" command and a "cat" command...

    [Image of a black dog with a white throat and floppy ears that hang limply, sitting by a bed. Their mouth is downturned and their round, sad eyes look up.]

    so why no "dog" command???

    Well, I have no idea what the commands do but I still enjoyed the joke.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Man = manual. Not sure what cat stands for but it prints the content of a file to the terminal (command line).

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    I believe it stands for concatenate.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

    I learned it long ago as "catenate".

    checks Google

    Yep, seems to fit.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Right, I always forget it can do more than just print file contents. Well, not planning on remembering it tomorrow.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

    cat file1 file2 > file3 => the contents of both file1 and file2 concatenating their contents into file3

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

    There is actually woman pages if you have Emacs installed (which used to be the norm). It stands for WithOut Man Pages: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/woman.html
