Before we can get into any serious work with UNIX commands, we'll cover a few different ways to view files in this chapter. Many of the commands covered in this chapter for viewing files will be used in many chapters throughout the book.

Another topic important to many of the UNIX commands to be covered as well as viewing files is redirection. In this chapter, we'll see some commonly used redirection techniques and then some methonds of viewing files.

  • Redirection

  • cat, more, pg, head , and tail commands for viewing files
