Introduction Sed, short for Stream Editor, is a powerful command-line tool that is used to manipulate and transform text. It is commonly used to perform operations on input files, such as replacing text, deleting lines, and inserting new text. However, sed can also be used with a literal string instead of an input file, which can be useful in certain situations. In this article, we will discuss the different ways to use sed with a literal string and explore some examples of how to use this feature. Using the -e Option The most straightforward way to use sed with a ... Read More

When working with Bash, it's important to understand the differences between using an alias, a script, and a new function. Each has its own unique use case and can be used to accomplish different tasks. Aliases An alias is a way to create a shortcut for a command or series of commands. They are defined using the "alias" keyword followed by the desired shortcut and the command it should reference. For example, the following creates an alias for the "ls -la" command − alias ll='ls -la' This allows the user to type "ll" instead of "ls -la" to see ... Read More

There are several ways to encrypt and decrypt directories in Linux, but one popular method is to use the "ecryptfs" utility. This utility allows you to encrypt a directory using the user's login passphrase, and automatically decrypts the directory when the user logs in. Gpgtar gpgtar is a utility that allows you to encrypt and decrypt tar archives using the GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) encryption software. gpgtar uses GPG to encrypt the files in the tar archive, and then creates a new tar archive with the encrypted files. This allows you to easily encrypt a large number of files and ... Read More

To negate an "if" condition in a Bash script in Linux, you can use the "!" operator. For example, if you have an "if" statement that checks if a variable "x" is equal to 5, you can negate that condition by using "if [ ! $x -eq 5 ]" instead. This will run the commands inside the "if" block if the condition is not true (i.e. if "x" is not equal to 5). Integer Comparison In Bash, you can use the following operators to compare integers − eq (equal to) ne (not equal to) gt (greater than) ge (greater ... Read More

The /etc/hosts file is a simple text file used to map hostnames to IP addresses. It is used to resolve hostnames to IP addresses, bypassing the need for a DNS server. Each line in the file represents a single mapping, with the IP address followed by one or more hostnames separated by spaces. You can map hostnames with ports by specifying the hostname followed by the port number, separated by a colon. For example, to map the hostname "example.com" to the IP address "192.168.0.1" on port 80, you would add the following line to the /etc/hosts file − 192.168.0.1 example.com:80 ... Read More

For example, to check if the directory "/mnt/data" is mounted, you can run − mount | grep "/mnt/data" If the directory is mounted, the command will return information about the mount point, including the file system type and the device it is mounted on. If the directory is not mounted, the command will return nothing. You can also check if a directory is a mount point using the findmnt command. findmnt -T /mnt/data This command will show all the mountpoints for ... Read More

In Linux, a pipe is a mechanism that allows the output of one command to be used as the input for another command. Pipes allow for powerful command line operations by allowing the output of one command to be used as input for another command. Pipes Pipes are a feature in Linux and other Unix-like operating systems that allow the output of one command to be passed as input to another command. They are represented by the "|" symbol, and are often used to chain multiple commands together to perform complex tasks. For example, the command "ls -l | grep ... Read More
