Idiot-proofing bzip2 creation
Specifically w/regard to naming your own bzip2 files.
What they don't make clear on most manpages is that you can't simply use
Sounds pretty obvious, doesn't it? Well, I thought so too once I read a particular manual page and reasoned it out. Then I remembered the 15 or so minutes it took me to Google myself to that manpage, and I decided it was good Net citizenship to put up a little step-by-step like this one on an appropriate forum on which I was already a registered member. It isn't just the C++ heads or the Python jockeys who need things broken down to their simplest bits for them from time to time. Newbies and near-newbies do, too. I took it as read that was the reason for this subforum, so here I went. BZT |
Hi,
Along with the 'man pages' you should be using other reference material to understand things on a GNU/Linux system. I suggest that the following will aid you to understanding things a little better; Linux Documentation Project Rute Tutorial & Exposition Linux Command Guide Utimate Linux Newbie Guide LinuxSelfHelp Getting Started with Linux Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide Linux Home Networking Virtualiation- Top 10 :hattip: The above links and others can be found at 'Slackware-Links'. More than just SlackwareŽ links! |
