Head (Unix)
is a program on Unix and Unix-like operating systems used to display the beginning of a text file or piped data. Syntax The command syntax is: head ptions By default, will print the first 10 lines of its input to the standard output. Option flags Other command Many early versions of Unix and Plan 9 did not have this command, and documentation and books used sed instead: sed 5q ''filename'' The example prints every line (implicit) and quits after the fifth. Equivalently, awk may be used to print the first five lines in a file: awk 'NR < 6' ''filename'' However, neither sed nor awk were available in early versions of , which were based on Version 6 Unix, and included head.

Lorem Ipsum
''Lorem ipsum'' ( ) is a dummy or placeholder text commonly used in graphic design, publishing, and web development. Its purpose is to permit a page layout to be designed, independently of the copy (publishing), copy that will subsequently populate it, or to demonstrate various fonts of a typeface without meaningful text that could be distracting. ''Lorem ipsum'' is typically a corrupted version of , a 1st-century BC text by the Roman Republic, Roman statesman and philosopher Cicero, with words altered, added, and removed to make it nonsensical and improper Latin. The first two words are the Clipping (morphology), truncation of ("pain itself"). Versions of the ''Lorem ipsum'' text have been used in typesetting since the 1960s, when advertisements for Letraset transfer sheets popularized it. ''Lorem ipsum'' was introduced to the digital world in the mid-1980s, when Aldus Corporation, Aldus employed it in graphic and word-processing templates for its desktop publishing program ...

Computer File
A computer file is a System resource, resource for recording Data (computing), data on a Computer data storage, computer storage device, primarily identified by its filename. Just as words can be written on paper, so too can data be written to a computer file. Files can be shared with and transferred between computers and Mobile device, mobile devices via removable media, Computer networks, networks, or the Internet. Different File format, types of computer files are designed for different purposes. A file may be designed to store a written message, a document, a spreadsheet, an Digital image, image, a Digital video, video, a computer program, program, or any wide variety of other kinds of data. Certain files can store multiple data types at once. By using computer programs, a person can open, read, change, save, and close a computer file. Computer files may be reopened, modified, and file copying, copied an arbitrary number of times. Files are typically organized in a file syst ...

Unix Text Processing Utilities
Unix (, ; trademarked as UNIX) is a family of multitasking, multi-user computer operating systems that derive from the original AT&T Unix, whose development started in 1969 at the Bell Labs research center by Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, and others. Initially intended for use inside the Bell System, AT&T licensed Unix to outside parties in the late 1970s, leading to a variety of both academic and commercial Unix variants from vendors including University of California, Berkeley ( BSD), Microsoft ( Xenix), Sun Microsystems ( SunOS/ Solaris), HP/ HPE ( HP-UX), and IBM ( AIX). The early versions of Unix—which are retrospectively referred to as " Research Unix"—ran on computers such as the PDP-11 and VAX; Unix was commonly used on minicomputers and mainframes from the 1970s onwards. It distinguished itself from its predecessors as the first portable operating system: almost the entire operating system is written in the C programming language (in 1973), which allow ...

Dd (Unix)
dd is shell command for reading, writing and converting file data. Originally developed for Unix, it has been implemented on many other environments including Unix-like operating systems, Windows, Plan 9 and Inferno. The command can be used for many purposes. For relatively simple copying operations, it tends to be slower than domain-specific alternatives, but it excels at overwriting or truncating a file at any point or seeking in a file. The command supports reading and writing files, and if a driver is available to support file-like access, the command can access devices too. Such access is typically supported on Unix-based systems that provide file-like access to devices (such as storage) and special device files (such as /dev/zero and /dev/random). Therefore, the command can be used for tasks such as backing up the boot sector of a drive, and obtaining random data. The command can also support converting data while copying; including byte order swapping and conve ...

Tail (Unix)
is a program available on Unix, Unix-like systems, FreeDOS and MSX-DOS used to display the tail end of a text file or piped data. Implementations The version of bundled in GNU coreutils was written by Paul Rubin, David MacKenzie, Ian Lance Taylor, and Jim Meyering. The command is available as a separate package for Microsoft Windows as part of the UnxUtils collection of native Win32 ports of common GNU Unix-like utilities. The FreeDOS version was developed by M. Aitchison. A command is also part of ASCII's ''MSX-DOS2 Tools'' for MSX-DOS version 2. ''CCZE'' is -like while displaying its output in color. ''pctail'' is similar to CCZE. It is a colorized programmed in Python which tails and colorizes syslog output. ''Inotail'' was an implementation using the inotify Linux kernel interface (introduced in version 2.6.13 in August 2005) to check whether new data is available instead of polling every second, as the original did. However, newer versions of tail also started usin ...

Version 6 Unix
Sixth Edition Unix, also called Version 6 Unix or just V6 is a version of the Unix operating system first released in May 1975 and the first version of the Unix operating system to see wide release outside Bell Labs. Like its direct predecessor, the sixth edition targeted the DEC PDP-11 family of minicomputers. It was superseded by Version 7 Unix in 1978/1979, although V6 systems remained in regular operation until at least 1985. AT&T Corporation licensed Version 5 Unix to educational institutions only, but licensed Version 6 also to commercial users for $20,000, and it remained the most widely used version into the 1980s. An enhanced V6 was the basis of the first ever commercially sold Unix version, INTERACTIVE's IS/1. Bell's own PWB/UNIX 1.0 was also based on V6, where earlier (unreleased) versions were based on V4 and V5. Whitesmiths produced and marketed a (binary-compatible) V6 clone under the name Idris. Source code V6 Unix was released as a distribution including the ...

Command Line
A command-line interface (CLI) is a means of interacting with software via command (computing), commands each formatted as a line of text. Command-line interfaces emerged in the mid-1960s, on computer terminals, as an interactive and more user-friendly alternative to the non-interactive mode available with punched cards. For a long time, a CLI was the most common interface for software, but today a graphical user interface (GUI) is more common. Nonetheless, many programs such as operating system and software development utility software, utilities still provide CLI. A CLI enables automation, automating computer program, programs since commands can be stored in a scripting language, script computer file, file that can be used repeatedly. A script allows its contained commands to be executed as group; as a program; as a command. A CLI is made possible by command-line interpreters or command-line processors, which are programs that execute input commands. Alternatives to a CLI ...

Syntax
In linguistics, syntax ( ) is the study of how words and morphemes combine to form larger units such as phrases and sentences. Central concerns of syntax include word order, grammatical relations, hierarchical sentence structure (constituency), agreement, the nature of crosslinguistic variation, and the relationship between form and meaning (semantics). Diverse approaches, such as generative grammar and functional grammar, offer unique perspectives on syntax, reflecting its complexity and centrality to understanding human language. Etymology The word ''syntax'' comes from the ancient Greek word , meaning an orderly or systematic arrangement, which consists of (''syn-'', "together" or "alike"), and (''táxis'', "arrangement"). In Hellenistic Greek, this also specifically developed a use referring to the grammatical order of words, with a slightly altered spelling: . The English term, which first appeared in 1548, is partly borrowed from Latin () and Greek, though the L ...

Pipe (computing)
The vertical bar, , is a glyph with various uses in mathematics, computing, and typography. It has many names, often related to particular meanings: Sheffer stroke (in logic), pipe, bar, or (literally, the word "or"), vbar, and others. Usage Mathematics The vertical bar is used as a mathematical symbol in numerous ways. If used as a pair of brackets, it suggests the notion of the word "size". These are: * absolute value: , x, , read "the ''absolute value'' of ''x''" * cardinality: , S, , read "the ''cardinality'' of the set ''S''" or "the ''length'' of a string ''S''" * determinant: , A, , read "the ''determinant'' of the matrix ''A''". When the matrix entries are written out, the determinant is denoted by surrounding the matrix entries by vertical bars instead of the usual brackets or parentheses of the matrix, as in \begin a & b \\ c & d\end. * order: , G, , read "the ''order'' of the group ''G''", or , g, , "the ''order'' of the element g \in G" Likewise, the vertical bar is ...
