One Day One GNU/Linux Command ============================= head - Output the 1st part of files.
Summary: Show the first 10 lines of each FILE. With more than one FILE, precede each with a header giving the file name. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, then read the input from stdin. Examples: $ head -- Read 10 lines from stdin and dump to stdout. $ head foss.txt -- Show 1st 10 lines of the file. $ head f1 f2 -- Show 1st 10 lines of file f1 & f2 with header. $ head -q f1 f2 -- Same as above, but with-out header. $ head -n 15 myfile -- Show 1st 15 lines only. $ head -c 15 myfile -- Show 1st 15 Bytes only. $ head -c 15k myfile -- Show 1st 15KB only. * Useless Use of Head (By Jan Schaumann): (1) ls -1 | head -n 10 | sed -e 's/FIND/REPLACE/' (2) http://www.10000takes.com/zidane.jpg * MultiTail (Thanks Karanbir) http://www.vanheusden.com/multitail/ Read: man head HTH :) -- Bharathi S _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
