done in binar! mode( Then it can exact using the wip$ip software in ')&*+',
+perating ,!stem(
-fter g$ip. if we want to un$ip the file then use the following(
gun$ip file%name
#(1) To unzip or gunzip the file :

4(1) "asi# grep #ommand:-
-----------------------------------
Example:-
grep :*8+" index: adwor;221(log 5 9home9partners-home9x!$9predd!9dropindex(txt
Note:- grep command is <ust li;e the search for some specfic word in !our windows file(
)n 'indows +perating ,!stem. we use the (T86=>) and then we give the word we
want to search( ,imilarl!. grep is used for 7&)/ or 6)&7/ +perating s!stem( )n the

grep :A(sBl: *(lst 5 lst%sBl%gl(txt
Note:- The above example to do the search and to the search results in some given file
name(
3) To find the file in the #urrent folder and su'folder:-
---------------------------------------------------------------------
find ( -name Ffile%name*(sBlG -print
Example:-
find -i ( -name :po/'>7&T*(sBl: -print

(&ote:- 0ou can also use O+8-6E%P+IE9rdbms9admin9utlrp(sBl (which will compile
all invalid ob<ects thru ,K8IG86())(
1J) To &no! apps pass!ord:-
--------------------------------------

1N) =U)T1:-
---------------------
,a! emplo!ees are allocated a certain amount of dis; space on the file s!stem for their
personal files. sa! 1222Ib( )f !ou go over !our Buota. !ou are given some :n: da!s to
remove excess files(
To chec; !our current Buota and how much of it !ou have used( >or that !ou can use the
following command(
5 (uota /
1D) 2F:-
------------
To find out how much space is left on the fileserver. use the following command(
5 df ,
#2) 2U:-
-------------
The du command outputs the number of ;ilob!es used b! each subdirector!( 7seful if
!ou have gone over Buota and !ou want to find out which director! has the most files(
>rom !our home-director!. use the following command(
5 du s >
The s flag will displa! onl! a summar! (total si$e) and the * means all files and
directories(
#1) GZIP:-
---------------
This reduces the si$e of a file. thus freeing valuable dis; space( This is compress the file(
)s it similar to the 'in$ip in the 'indows +perating s!stem(
Example:-
5 ls l phani,txt
note the si$e of the file using ls -l . then to compress phani(txt. use the following
command(
5 gzip phani,txt
This will compress the file and place it in a file called phani,txt,gz
To see the change in si$e. use ls l again(
To expand the file. use the gun$ip command(
5 gunzip phani,txt,gz
This is similar to the 7n$ip the file in !our 'indows +perating s!stem(
##) ZC1T:-
----------------
$cat will read g$ipped files without needing to uncompress them first(
5 z#at phani,txt,gz
)f the text scrolls too fast for !ou. pipe the output though less (
5 z#at phani,txt,gz 0 less
#4) FILE:
>ile classifies the named files according to the t!pe of data the! contain. for example
ascii (text). pictures. compressed data. etc(( To report on all files in !our home director!.
use the following command(
5 file >
#?) 2IFF:-
----------------
This command compares the contents of two files and displa!s the differences( ,a! !ou
have a file called file6 and !ou edit some part of it and save it as file7( To see the
differences use the following command(
5 diff file6 file7
#3) EC?):-
------------------
echo Ovariable%value
The value of the environment variable can get from the echo command(
Example:-
echo O-""6%T+"
)n the above command we get the -""6%T+" variable value set in the environment file(
-""6%T+" is the environment variable in the environment file(
