Linux Lab Report

Title: Basic File Handling, Commenting, Variable Declarations, and Operations on Linux

Name: [Your Name]

Date: [Date]

1. Objective

To explore and understand the fundamental concepts of file handling, commenting, variable

declarations, and basic operations in the Linux environment.

2. Introduction

This section covers the importance of:

- File Handling: Managing files (create, read, write, delete).

- Commenting: Documenting code/scripts for readability.

- Variable Declarations: Storing and manipulating data in scripts.

- Operations: Performing arithmetic and logical tasks.

3. Experiment Setup

- Operating System: [Linux distribution and version, e.g., Ubuntu 22.04]

- Shell Environment: [Bash, Zsh, etc.]

- Tools: Text editors (e.g., Nano, Vim) and terminal commands.

4. Procedure

4.1 File Handling

1. Create a file: touch file.txt

2. Write to a file: echo 'This is a test file' > file.txt

3. Append data: echo 'Appending a new line' >> file.txt

4. Read the file: cat file.txt


5. Delete the file: rm file.txt

4.2 Commenting in Scripts

1. Single-line comments: # This is a single-line comment

2. Multi-line comments: : ' Multi-line comments '

4.3 Variable Declarations

1. Declare a variable: NAME='LinuxLab'

2. Use the variable: echo 'Welcome to $NAME'

4.4 Operations

1. Arithmetic operations:

x=10; y=5; echo 'Sum: $((x + y))'; echo 'Product: $((x * y))'

2. Logical operations:

if [ $x -gt $y ]; then echo '$x is greater than $y'; fi

5. Results

Include screenshots of the commands executed, showing their outputs.

6. Conclusion

Mastering basic file handling, commenting, variable declarations, and operations in Linux is crucial

for efficient system administration and scripting.
