Hi J0097, and welcome to LQ.

This looks very much like homework to me. Members on LQ normally don't like spoon-feeding answers. What research have you done to find the answers yourself? What do you think the answers are?

I'm afraid that is not an answer. What did you want to achieve by that command? What's happened? Why do you think that did not work?

What is the *complete* question that you were given to answer? I'm not sure that the output you provided in your opening post is entirely relevant to the questions you have been asked. For example, you will need to list the home directory in order to answer the first question, as far as I can see.

DuckDuckGo is your friend: https://linux.die.net/Linux-CLI/x9543.htm
Arch Documentation is your friend too: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...BA%D0%B8%D0%B9)

I would highly recommend that you go to the tutor or teacher who instructs your class and tell them that you are not understanding the material. They will hopefully have some resources to help you.

Also, do search the internet. A search on Google for linux list home directory returns the command you need in one of the first few results (or at least it does for me).

This really looks like homework...
Plus it's very easy to find the answer on the internet as suggested previously (and we at LQ don't have any added value to that)

Why did you edit your first post and deleted all the questions? Now nobody can see what they were...
