Wouldn't "cat", "tail" or "head" be better? for reading the contents of a file?
Why? (I'm not saying it won't; just asking the question)
Yeah, thats also what i want to know, alot of people either dont know about these tools, or don't use them.. I'm wondering if I am missing something, because these tools seem to be good to me.. who is actually a person who doesn't really know the ins and outs of all these things..
"open for access " is all the time, and I don't understand why in OSX?
Is there a reason?
I think you left something out there. At any rate, to just read a file you don't need open for access.
as in open for access in OS 9 but in OSX wouldn't unix tools be better?
Again, just asking.. |
