Every command ends with either a newline (i.e. by pressing the return key) or a semicolon '``;``'. More than one command can be written on the same line by separating them with semicolons. A switch is a very common special type of argument. Switches almost always start with one or more hyphens '``-``' and alter the way a command operates. For example, the '``ls``' command usually lists all the files and directories in the current working directory, but by using the '``-l``' switch, the behavior of '``ls``' is changed to not only display the filename, but also the size, permissions, owner and modification time of each file. diff --git a/sphinx_doc_src/tutorial.rst b/sphinx_doc_src/tutorial.rst index fa40ac1ec..89009ddb5 100644 --- a/sphinx_doc_src/tutorial.rst +++ b/sphinx_doc_src/tutorial.rst @@ -135,7 +135,7 @@ You can pipe between commands with the usual vertical bar:: 1 2 12 -stdin and stdout can be redirected via the familiar < and >. stderr is redirected with a 2>. +stdin and stdout can be redirected via the familiar `<` and `<`. stderr is redirected with a `2>`. @@ -408,7 +408,7 @@ To write them on the same line, use the semicolon (";").
