Hi Friends,
I am using ~ symbol for before username on users home directories.
e.g
ls ~user1/ instead of ls /home/user1
i want to know which one is the configuration file specified "~" sysbol
This is not configurable (at least not without recompiling bash :)). This is a
feature of the shell itself. Do a "info bash" and search for "Tilde Expansion"
to learn more.
also i want to use
ls user1 instead of ls ~user1
If that were implemented, consider this case ...
$ ls pony
...how is the shell supposed to figure out whether you meant to list the file or
directory in the current directory which is named pony or look up whether the
user pony exists and list that users home directory ?
cheers,
