The 3l command in vi will move the cursor 3 characters to the right when you are in command mode of vi editor. You can go into command mode by pressing the key.

What is the vi editor?

The vi editor is an interactive, cryptic, and screen-based text editor used to create and edit a file. It operates in either

Input mode or Command mode. In Input mode, the vi editor accepts a keystroke as text and displays it on the screen, whereas in Command mode, it interprets keystrokes as commands. As the vi editor is case sensitive, it interprets the same character or characters as different commands, depending upon whether the user enters a lowercase or uppercase character. When a user starts a new session with vi, he must put the editor in Input mode by pressing the "I" key. If he is not able to see the entered text on the vi editor's screen, it means that he has not put the editor in

Insert mode. The user must change the editor to Input mode before entering any text so that he can see the text he has entered.

Answer option D is incorrect. The 3h command will move the cursor 3 characters to the left.

Answer option B is incorrect. The 3w command will move the cursor forward by 3 words.

Answer option A is incorrect. The 3b command will move the cursor backward by 3 words.

You will use find -name foobar.png command to do case-senstive search for files named foobar.png.

What is the find command?

The find command can perform a search based on a variety of search limitations. It searches through one or more directory tree(s) of a filesystem, locating files based on some user-specified criteria. By default, find returns all files in the current working directory. Further, find allows a user to specify an action to be taken on each matched file.

Thus, it is an extremely powerful command for applying actions to many files.

The find command can be used with a wild card (*), but it works best when we know the name of the file or directory we are looking for.

The find command can search your system for files that comply with certain numeric criteria, such as the size of the file (-size), the number of links to the file (-links), the date of the last change to the files data (-mtime), or the date of the last time the file was read (-atime). All these criteria accept a numeric value. When a numeric value is provided to find, it looks for an exact match, more than the number, or less than the number.

Answer option B is incorrect. The find -iname foobar.png command will do case-insensitive search for files named foobar.png.

Answer option C is incorrect. The grep-name foobar.png is an invalid command.

What is the grep command?

The grep command is used to search for a specific pattern of text in a file. It helps administrators in searching large amounts of text for a certain error message or name.

Answer option A is incorrect. The locate -name foobar.png is an invalid command.

What is the locate command?

The locate command is used to search for matching files in a database that is usually updated daily by a cron job. On the forthcoming Linux operating systems, this command is usually replaced by the slocate command, which stores permissions as well as paths and thus prevents users from prying into directories. One more advantage of the locate command is that it matches against any part of a pathname, not just the file itself.

From the above output, it is clear that 245 words are present in the file file.txt, as the second column represents the number of words present in a file.

The ps command reports the status of processes that are currently running on a Linux computer.

What is >> command?

The >> command is used for storing the output generated by different commands. It creates a file specified to store the output. If the specified file already exists, it appends that file.

Set user ID is the Linux access permission flag bit that allows users to run an executable file as the permissions of the executable's owner. When the Set user ID (SUID) bit is set and a user executes the file, the user will have the same rights as the owner.

If the Set user ID bit is set and the owner has the execute permission, the 'x' in the owner permissions is replaced by 's'. If the Set user ID bit is set and the owner has no execute permission, the 'x' is replaced by 'S'.

For example:

-rwsrw----The owner has the execute permission and the SUID bit is set.

-rwSr----- The SUID bit is set, but the owner has no execute permission.

The cal 7 2010 command will display the calendar of July 2010.

What is the cal command?

The cal command prints an ASCII calendar of the current month.

Syntax: cal [month] [year]

Given a month and year as arguments, cal displays the calendar for that particular month of the given year.

When a single numeric argument (such as 2005) is given, cal will display a calendar for the given year. Always use a fourdigit year. For example, the command cal 05 will display the calendar for the year 05, not the year

2005.

Answer option B is incorrect. The cal 20 July command will display only the month and year, and not the date.

Answer option A is incorrect. The cal command will display the calendar of the current month.

Answer option D is incorrect. The date command will display the current date and time of the system.

You will use the tee command to write its content to standard output and simultaneously copy it into the specified file. The tee command is used to split the output of a program so that it can be seen on the display and also be saved in a file.

It can also be used to capture intermediate output before the data is altered by another command or program. The tee command reads standard input, then writes its content to standard output, and simultaneously copies it into the specified file(s) or variables. The syntax of the tee command is as follows: tee [-a] [-i] [File] where, the -a option appends the output to the end of File instead of writing over it and the -i option is used to ignore interrupts.

Answer option C is incorrect. The concatenate (cat) command is used to display or print the contents of a file.

Syntax: cat filename

For example, the following command will display the contents of the /var/log/dmesg file:

cat /var/log/dmesg

Note: The more command is used in conjunction with the cat command to prevent scrolling of the screen while displaying the contents of a file.

Answer option A is incorrect. The less command is used to view (but not change) the contents of a text file, one screen at a time. It is similar to the more command. However, it has the extended capability of allowing both forward and backward navigation through the file. Unlike most Unix text editors/viewers, less does not need to read the entire file before starting; therefore, it has faster load times with large files.

The command syntax of the less command is as follows: less [options] file_name

Where,

Answer option D is incorrect. The more command is used to view (but not modify) the contents of a text file on the terminal screen at a time.

The syntax of the more command is as follows: more [options] file_name

Where,

The Ctrl-r key-combination is used to redo a change undone by a u command in vim. You can go back in time with the undo command. You can then go forward again with the redo command. If you make a new change after the undo command, the redo will not be possible anymore.

Answer options B and D are incorrect. The Ctrl-w, s and Ctrl-w, v key-combinations are used to view a file in two windows in a single vim screen. Ctrl-w, s splits the screen horizontally and Ctrl-w, v splits the screen vertically.

Answer option A is incorrect. The Ctrl-w key-combination with an arrow key is used to jump from one window to another. This will move you to the next window in whichever direction the arrow would normally move your cursor.

A file's inode number can easily be found by using the ls command with the -i option.

What is an inode?

An inode is a data structure in Unix file systems, which holds key information about a file. A file is uniquely identified by its

inode number. An inode contains the following information about a file:

Owner's user identification number

Owner's group identification number

Device on which the inode resides

Locking information of the file

Mode and type of file

Number of links to the file

Size of the file

Access and modification time of the file

Modification time of the inode

Addresses of the blocks of the file on the disk

Answer option D is incorrect. ls without arguments lists the names of files and directories in the current directory.

Answer option A is incorrect. The cat command only displays the contents of a file, not the file's inode number.

Answer option C is incorrect. This command displays the long listing of files and directories. It will not display the inode number of a file.

The /etc/group file contains group information. This file shows which users are members of which groups.
