The bottom line is that to unlock the full power of your Linux system, you must be able to use shell commands. Thousands of commands are available for Linux to monitor and manage every aspect of your Linux system. But whether you are a Linux guru or novice, one challenge looms large.
Instead, this book presents commands in Fedora Linux by the way you use them. Finding Commands Some of the commands described in this book may not be installed when you go to run them. There are two main styles of play: capture-the-flag and free-for-all. A slightly more sophisticated documentation effort came a bit later with the info facility. Within each command itself, help messages are almost always available.
This reference information is component oriented — in other words, there are sepa- rate man pages for nearly every command, file format, system call, device, and other component of a Linux system. All three reference features — man pages, info documents, and help messages — are available in Fedora.
Using help Messages The -h or --help options are often used to display help messages for a command. List information about the FILEs the current directory by default. Sort entries alphabetically if none of -cftuSUX nor --sort. Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options. The preceding output shows how the ls command line is used and lists available options. Piping the output to the less command lets you page through it. You can format the help messages into a reference card using the card command.
Using man Pages Suppose you want to find man pages for commands related to a certain word. Use the apropos command to search the man page database. The apropos output here shows each man page NAME line that contains crontab. The number shows the man page section in which the man page appears. We discuss sec- tions shortly. The preceding command displays the first man page found for the find command. As you saw in the earlier example, some terms have multiple man pages.

For exam- ple, there is a man page for the crontab command and one for the crontab files. Man pages are organized into sections, as shown in Table For example, you can convert a man page into a web page HTML using the man2html com- mand. Next the man2html command converts the man page to HTML cat. The links command-line web browser then lets you view the webified man page from the shell.

Summary Although you certainly can read this book from cover to cover if you like, the book is designed to be a reference to hundreds of features in Fedora Linux that are most use- ful to power users and systems administrators.
