5.
View catalog Details
Ls/system/library/extensions
Parameter-W displays Chinese,-l details,-a including hidden files
6.
Converting catalogs
Cd
Example: Think of a drive directory to stroll around
Cd/system/library/extensions
Create a new directory
mkdir Directory Name
Example: Create a backup directory in the driver directory
Mkdir/system/library/extensions/backup
7.
Copy files
CP parameter source file destination file
Example: Want to copy the desktop Natit.kext to the drive directory
Cp-r/user/User Name/desktop/natit.kext/system/library/extensions
The parameter R indicates a recursive operation of the directory, and Kext looks like a file under the graphical interface, which is actually a folder.
Back up all files in the drive directory to desktop backup
Cp-r/system/library/extensions/*/user/User name/desktop/backup
8.
deleting files
RM parameter File
Example: To delete a driver's cache
Rm-rf/system/library/extensions.kextcache
Rm-rf/system/library/extensions.mkext
Parameter-RF is recursive and mandatory, be careful to use, if executed RM-RF/your system is gone
9.
Moving files
MV File
Example: Want to move Applehda.kext to the desktop
mv/system/library/extensions/applehda.kext/user/User name/desktop
Want to move the Applehda.kext to the backup directory
Mv/system/library/extensions/applehda.kext/system/library/extensions/backup
10.
Change file permissions
chmod parameter Permission file
Example: Set all files in the drive directory to root read/write, other users read only
Chmod-r 755/system/library/extensions
The parameter R is recursive, and 755 represents the permissions of each user
11.
Change file Owner
Chown parameter User: Group file
Example: Change all the files in the drive directory to the root user
Chown-r root:wheel/system/library/extensions
Parameter r indicates a recursive operation
Fix permissions on files throughout the system
Diskutil repairpermissions/
Strictly speaking, this is not a Unix command, but OSX is a software that remembers the modification or addition of the driver to execute once.
12.
Text editing
Nano file name
Example: Edit Natit info.plist
Nano/system/library/extensions/natit.kext/info.plist
After editing, use Ctrl +o to save, ctrl+x exit
Another text editing software is VI.
13.
Run script command
SH Script file name
Example to modify the driver after all the required operations into a script, after the driver has been modified to run once this script is OK, convenient
First, run Nano/clean in the terminal
Then, paste the following code into the nano
Rm-rf/system/library/extensions.kextcache
Rm-rf/system/library/extensions.mkext
Chown-r root:wheel/system/library/extensions
Chmod-r 755/system/library/extensions
Diskutil repairpermissions/
Kextcache-k/system/library/extensions/
Then Ctrl +o disk, ctrl+x exit
As soon as the drive is driven, it runs once in the terminal Sh/clean

14.
Typical Operating Procedures
(assuming you've made a clean script, remember to sudo-s get system permissions before each operation)
Suppose you download a video card driver Natit.zip, the desktop decompression to get a natit.kext, how to do it?
For the sake of insurance, back up all the drivers first.
mkdir/user/User name/desktop/backup Create a backup folder on the desktop
Cp-r/system/library/extensions/*/user/User name/desktop/backup backup driver file
Now you can install it safely.
Cp-r/user/user name/desktop/natit.kext/system/library/extensions copy it to the system-driven directory location
Sh/clean Execute cleanup Script, Operation complete
Re-boot failed, into the desktop, found that should not be the driver, how to recover it?
Power on F8, start with-s parameter
Execute MOUNT-UW/
rm-rf/user/User name/desktop/natit.kext Delete this driver
Sh/clean Execute cleanup Script, Operation complete
Restart, back to the original state, do not forget Ah, no special effects how to do it, and heard the need to modify the Natit Info. plist file is fine.
Cp-r/user/user name/desktop/natit.kext/system/library/extensions copy it to the system-driven directory location
Nano/system/library/extensions/natit.kext/info.plist
After editing, use Ctrl +o to save, ctrl+x exit
Sh/clean Execute cleanup Script, Operation complete
Restart, this time, the Carter effect has been, the sound card, God knows what will happen, we have to protect the existing results.
mkdir/user/User name/desktop/gooddrivers to create a directory for valid drivers
Cp-r/system/library/extensions/natit.kext/user/user name/desktop/gooddrivers backup
This sound card requires Applehda.kext to delete and edit the Appleazaliaaudio.kext in the Info.plist file, who knows later will not still use AppleHDA it, rather temporarily disable it.
mkdir/system/library/extensions/disabled Creating a disabled directory
Mv/system/library/extensions/applehda.kext/system/library/extensions/disabled move Past
Nano/system/library/extensions/natit.kext/appleazaliaaudio.kext/info.plist
After editing, use Ctrl +o to save, ctrl+x exit
Sh/clean Execute cleanup Script, Operation complete
Successful, but also put the modified driver back up
