Many commands also have options, switches, or flags. If you type in the ls command, you’ll get a list of files, folders, and directories. In Linux and Unix Operating Systems, commands start with the command itself, for instance:
#Find file on unix windows
While for most of its existence Microsoft pushed people to ignore their command prompt alternative and to instead strictly work within the graphical user interface, beginning with Windows 7, Microsoft has included their PowerShell command-line shell and scripting language.
For this reason, Unix and Unix-based Operating Systems like MacOS and Linux have always included at their core a Command Line Interface (CLI) such as a terminal window. In these cases, and especially when done remotely from another computer, the terminal interface is a much faster alternative. And sometimes we need to just quickly hop into a computer to do something and then pop right back out. Those drop-downs and option buttons hide the wide range of text that is actually executed through those mostly simpler clicks we make.But sometimes we need greater control than is provided through those menus and buttons, which have been shaped in part to simplify at the cost of reducing flexibility.
Most of the time, our daily work on computers is done through a graphical user interface (GUI) in which we do some typing of text in combination with the clicking of drop-down menus and option buttons.
