I see nothing but mediocrity in the world. Mediocrity is in our music, movies, sports, culture, software, etc. And it frustrates the hell out of me.

'wc' - count words lines and bytes - Video Man Pages

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 14:00:36 GMT

The 'wc' command counts the number of lines, words or bytes in a file.

- Count lines (-l) in a file:
wc -l path/to/file

- Count words (-w) in a file:
wc -w path/to/file

- Count bytes in a file:
wc -c path/to/file

- Count characters (-m) in a file, taking multi-byte characters into account:
wc -m path/to/file

- Count lines, words, and bytes in a file:
wc path/to/file

- Count lines, words, and bytes from stdin:
cat path/to/file | wc
NOTE This is NOT a "useless use of cat" since the output is slightly different than 'wc file'.

- Get character length of the longest line in a file:
wc -L path/to/file

'xargs' - execute command lines from standard input - Video Man Pages

Sat, 28 Feb 2026 14:01:30 GMT

'xargs' takes the output of one command (or contents of a file), converts it into a list of arguments, and passes that list to another command to execute.

- Run a command using the input data as arguments:
command1 | xargs command2

- Count lines in multiple files:
ls *.txt | xargs wc -l

- Cat a file and use the input data as an argument:
cat file | xargs
NOTE If no xargs command is given, xargs uses 'echo' as the command.

- The same as above except it executes the command once per argument (-n 1):
cat file | xargs -n 1

- Create 10 sequential .txt files. The '-I {}' symbolizes all the input:
seq 10 | xargs -I {} touch {}.txt

- Delete files with '.log' extension found by 'find'. The -print0 in 'find' and -0 in 'xargs' use a null character as a delimiter, ensuring filenames with spaces or special characters are handled correctly.
find . -name "*.log" -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f

- Find and delete all backup files (.bak). The '-p' option is useful for destructive operations, as it displays the command to be executed and asks for user confirmation (y/n).
find . -type f -name "*.bak" | xargs -p rm

- The '-d' option sets the delimiter (spaces by default):
ls | xargs -n 1 (Files/directories with spaces are a problem.)
ls | xargs -n 1 -d \n (Uses new line as delimiter and problem solved!)

- xargs can print (-a) the contents of a file to stdout. We can use '-p' to prompt for 'y/n' before executing. We can use '-r' to only execute if stdin is not empty.
xargs -a 1.txt
xargs -p -a 1.txt
xargs -r -p -a 1.txt

Fair Source Software Is Incredibly Unfair

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 14:01:02 GMT

There is a new "software movement" that seems to be gaining ground. It's the "fair source" movement, and it's quite discriminatory in nature. Sadly, I see some within the FOSS community actually advocating for "fair source."

'awk' - a programming language for working on files - Video Man Pages

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 14:01:04 GMT

The 'awk command' is really an entire programming language used for working with files and text.

- Print a file (similar to 'cat'):
awk '{print}' path/to/file
OR
awk '{print $0}' path/to/file

- Print the 2nd field of each line:
awk '{print $2}' path/to/file

- Print the last field of each line:
awk '{print $NF}' path/to/file

- Search for lines containing 'string' and print the second field of those lines:
awk '/string/ {print $2}' path/to/file

- Use a different field separator (instead of space) and print 1st and 7th fields with a TAB in between:
awk -F ":" '{print $1 "\t" $7}' /etc/passwd

- Find a specific string in any column:
ps -ef | awk '{ if($NF == "/usr/bin/pipewire") print $0};'
NOTE We search if the last field is '/usr/bin/pipewire' and print the line.

- Search 1st field if it starts with 'b' or 'c', then prints the line:
awk '$1 ~ /^[b,c]/ {print $0}' .bashrc
NOTE The '~' character is the regex match operator.

- Use the 'substr' function to print each record from the 2nd character onward:
awk '{print substr($0, 2)}' .bashrc
NOTE It essentially prints the document but omits the first character of each line.

'cut' - cut sections from lines of text - Video Man Pages

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 14:00:16 GMT

The 'cut' command is used to cut sections from lines of text.

- Print the third character (-c) on each line:
cut -c 3 /path/to/file
command | cut -c 3

- Print characters 5-10 of each line of a file:
cut -c 5-10 path/to/file

- Split each line using a delimiter into fields, and print fields (-f) 2 and 5:
cut -f 2,5 path/to/file
NOTE The default delimiter is the TAB.

- Split each line using a specified delimiter (-d) and print field 4 and all fields after:
cut -d ":" -f 4- /etc/passwd
NOTE The /etc/passwd file uses colons to separate fields of information.

- Split each line using a specified delimiter (-d) and print field 4 and all fields previous:
cut -d ":" -f -4 /etc/passwd

- Do not print lines that do not contain the delimiter (-s):
cut -d " " -f -4 -s .bashrc

'tac' - concatenate and print in reverse - Video Man Pages

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 14:01:38 GMT

The 'tac' is used to concatenate files and print them in reverse.

- Print the contents of a file in reverse (by line) to stdout:
tac path/to/file

- Concatenate specific files in reverse:
tac file1 path/to/file2 ...

- Display stdin in reversed order:
printf "one\ntwo\nthree\n" | tac

- Use a specific separator rather than the new line:
tac -s separator path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...

- Use a specific regex as a separator:
tac -r -s 'regex' path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...

EXAMPLE: tac -r -s 'x\|[^x]' file1
This matches either the character 'x' OR any character that is not 'x', effectively matching every character in the file.

- Use a separator (new line by default) before each file:
tac -b file1 file2 ...
