Cust
what is the command that will tell me the revision code of a program ?
UNIX
yes, that’s correct.
Cust
no, what is it ?
UNIX
yes.
Cust
so, which is the one ?
UNIX
no.’which’ is used to find the program.
Cust
stop this. who are you ?
UNIX
use ‘who am i’ not ‘who r yoo’.you can also ‘finger yoo’ to get information about ‘yoo’.
Cust
all i want to know is what finds the revision code ?
UNIX
use ‘what’.
Cust
that’s what i am trying to find out. isn’t that true ?
UNIX
no. ‘true’ gives you 0.
Cust
which one ?
UNIX
‘true’ gives you 0. ‘which programname’
Cust
let’s get back to my problem. what program? how do i find it?
UNIX
type ‘find/-name it’ to find ‘it’.type ‘what program’ to get the revision code.
Cust
i want to find the revision code.
UNIX
you can’t ‘find revisioncode’, you must use ‘what program’.
Cust
which command will do what i need?
UNIX
no. ‘which command’ will find ‘command’.
Cust
i think i understand. let me write that.
UNIX
you can ‘write that’ only if ‘that’ is a user on your system.
Cust
write what?
UNIX
no. ‘write that’.’what program’.
Cust
cut that out!
UNIX
yes. those are valid files for ‘cut’.don’t forget the options.
Cust
do you always do this ?
UNIX
‘du’ will give you disk usage.
Cust
HELP!
UNIX
‘help’ is only used for Source Code Control System(SCCS).
Cust
you make me angry.
UNIX
no, I don’t ‘make me’ angry but i did ‘make programname’ when i was upset once.
Cust
i don’t want to make trouble, so no more.
UNIX
no ‘more’? ‘which’ will help you find ‘more’. every system has ‘more’.
Cust
nice help! I’m confused more now.
UNIX
understand that since ‘help’ is such a small program, it is better not to ‘nice help’. and ‘more now’ is not allowed but ‘at now’ is. Unless of course ‘now’ is a file name.
Cust
this is almost as confusing as my PC.
UNIX
i didn’t know you needed help with ‘pc’.let me get you to the Pascal compiler team.
