Document Summary

File management file handling: linux is a case-sensitive operating system, so files and directories can have both uppercase and lowercase letters in the names. As you"re working with the files, make sure you reference the correct format of the files or directory names: $ ls l, total 0. Rw rw r 1 rich rich 0 oct 18 19:39 file1. txt rw rw r 1 rich rich 0 oct 18 19:39. File1. txt $ rm file1. txt: $ ls l, total 0. Rw rw r 1 rich rich 0 oct 18 19:39 file1. txt. The which command: use the which command to find out where programs and utilities are stored, $ which touch. /usr/bin/touch: the output of the which command shows the full path to where the command is stored on the system. The locate command: the locate command uses a database that keeps track of the location of files on the system.
