Basic operations for Linux files and directories

Comparison of special directories:

. Represents this Layer directory

.. Represents a previous level directory

-Represents a previous working directory

~ Represents the home folder where the current user's identity resides

~account represents the home folder where the account user resides

1. Directory-related Operations

CD Switch Directory

CD [Relative path or absolute path]

CD special directory//switch to special directory

CD//does not add any path, also represents the meaning of returning to their home folder

PWD Displays the current directory

Pwd-p display the current path instead of using a connected path

mkdir New Directory

mkdir [-MP] Directory name

-m configuration file directory permissions

-P directly creates the desired directory recursively.

Example

#mkdir-P Test1/test2/test3 Recursive creation of TEST1,TEST2,TEST3 directory

RmDir Delete "Empty" directory, note that only empty directory can be deleted

-P directly deletes the desired directory recursively

2. File and Directory Management

View files and directories: LS

ls [-alt] directory name

-A All files are listed together with hidden files to

-L lists long strings of data, including file attributes and permissions

-T Sort by time

Copy, delete, move: CP,RM,MV

CP [-AIFRP] source file destination file

-A is equivalent to all attributes and permissions copied together

-F Forced replication

-I if the target file already exists, ask for the action before overwriting

-P along with the properties of the file copy the past

-R Recursive Continuous replication

RM [-rfi] File or directory

-F Mandatory

-I interactive mode, asking the user whether to operate

-R Recursive Delete

MV [-FIU] source destination

-F forced Override

-I interactive mode

-U if the target file exists and the source is newer
