| cp
|
-H If the -R option is specified, symbolic links on the command line
are followed. (Symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal
are not followed.)
-L If the -R option is specified, all symbolic links are followed.
-P If the -R option is specified, no symbolic links are followed.
-R If source_file designates a directory, cp copies the directory and
the entire subtree connected at that point. This option also
causes symbolic links to be copied, rather than indirected through,
and for cp to create special files rather than copying them as nor-
mal files. Created directories have the same mode as the corre-
sponding source directory, unmodified by the process' umask.
-f For each existing destination pathname, attempt to overwrite it. If
permissions do not allow copy to succeed, remove it and create a
new file, without prompting for confirmation. (The -i option is
ignored if the -f option is specified.)
-i Causes cp to write a prompt to the standard error output before
copying a file that would overwrite an existing file. If the
response from the standard input begins with the character `y', the
file copy is attempted.
-p Causes cp to preserve in the copy as many of the modification time,
access time, file flags, file mode, user ID, and group ID as
allowed by permissions.

| grep
|
-A NUM, --after-context=NUM
Print NUM lines of trailing context after matching lines.
-a, --text
Process a binary file as if it were text; this is equivalent to
the --binary-files=text option.
-B NUM, --before-context=NUM
Print NUM lines of leading context before matching lines.
-C [NUM], -NUM, --context[=NUM]
Print NUM lines (default 2) of output context.
-b, --byte-offset
Print the byte offset within the input file before each line of
output.
--binary-files=TYPE
If the first few bytes of a file indicate that the file contains
binary data, assume that the file is of type TYPE. By default,
TYPE is binary, and grep normally outputs either a one-line mes-
sage saying that a binary file matches, or no message if there
is no match. If TYPE is without-match, grep assumes that a
binary file does not match; this is equivalent to the -I option.
If TYPE is text, grep processes a binary file as if it were
text; this is equivalent to the -a option. Warning: grep
--binary-files=text might output binary garbage, which can have
nasty side effects if the output is a terminal and if the termi-
nal driver interprets some of it as commands.
-c, --count
Suppress normal output; instead print a count of matching lines
for each input file. With the -v, --invert-match option (see
below), count non-matching lines.
-d ACTION, --directories=ACTION
If an input file is a directory, use ACTION to process it. By
default, ACTION is read, which means that directories are read
just as if they were ordinary files. If ACTION is skip, direc-
tories are silently skipped. If ACTION is recurse, grep reads
all files under each directory, recursively; this is equivalent
to the -r option.
-E, --extended-regexp
Interpret PATTERN as an extended regular expression (see below).
-e PATTERN, --regexp=PATTERN
Use PATTERN as the pattern; useful to protect patterns beginning
with -.
-F, --fixed-strings
Interpret PATTERN as a list of fixed strings, separated by new-
lines, any of which is to be matched.
-f FILE, --file=FILE
Obtain patterns from FILE, one per line. The empty file con-
tains zero patterns, and therefore matches nothing.
-G, --basic-regexp
Interpret PATTERN as a basic regular expression (see below).
This is the default.
-H, --with-filename
Print the filename for each match.
-h, --no-filename
Suppress the prefixing of filenames on output when multiple
files are searched.
--help Output a brief help message.
-I Process a binary file as if it did not contain matching data;
this is equivalent to the --binary-files=without-match option.
-i, --ignore-case
Ignore case distinctions in both the PATTERN and the input
files.
-L, --files-without-match
Suppress normal output; instead print the name of each input
file from which no output would normally have been printed. The
scanning will stop on the first match.
-l, --files-with-matches
Suppress normal output; instead print the name of each input
file from which output would normally have been printed. The
scanning will stop on the first match.
--mmap If possible, use the mmap(2) system call to read input, instead
of the default read(2) system call. In some situations, --mmap
yields better performance. However, --mmap can cause undefined
behavior (including core dumps) if an input file shrinks while
grep is operating, or if an I/O error occurs.
-n, --line-number
Prefix each line of output with the line number within its input
file.
-q, --quiet, --silent
Quiet; suppress normal output. The scanning will stop on the
first match. Also see the -s or --no-messages option below.
-r, --recursive
Read all files under each directory, recursively; this is equiv-
alent to the -d recurse option.
-s, --no-messages
Suppress error messages about nonexistent or unreadable files.
Portability note: unlike GNU grep, traditional grep did not con-
form to POSIX.2, because traditional grep lacked a -q option and
its -s option behaved like GNU grep's -q option. Shell scripts
intended to be portable to traditional grep should avoid both -q
and -s and should redirect output to /dev/null instead.
-U, --binary
Treat the file(s) as binary. By default, under MS-DOS and MS-
Windows, grep guesses the file type by looking at the contents
of the first 32KB read from the file. If grep decides the file
is a text file, it strips the CR characters from the original
file contents (to make regular expressions with ^ and $ work
correctly). Specifying -U overrules this guesswork, causing all
files to be read and passed to the matching mechanism verbatim;
if the file is a text file with CR/LF pairs at the end of each
line, this will cause some regular expressions to fail. This
option has no effect on platforms other than MS-DOS and MS-Win-
dows.
-u, --unix-byte-offsets
Report Unix-style byte offsets. This switch causes grep to
report byte offsets as if the file were Unix-style text file,
i.e., with CR characters stripped off. This will produce
results identical to running grep on a Unix machine. This
option has no effect unless -b option is also used; it has no
effect on platforms other than MS-DOS and MS-Windows.
-V, --version
Print the version number of grep to standard error. This ver-
sion number should be included in all bug reports (see below).
-v, --invert-match
Invert the sense of matching, to select non-matching lines.
-w, --word-regexp
Select only those lines containing matches that form whole
words. The test is that the matching substring must either be
at the beginning of the line, or preceded by a non-word con-
stituent character. Similarly, it must be either at the end of
the line or followed by a non-word constituent character. Word-
constituent characters are letters, digits, and the underscore.
-x, --line-regexp
Select only those matches that exactly match the whole line.
-y Obsolete synonym for -i.
-Z, --null
Output a zero byte (the ASCII NUL character) instead of the
character that normally follows a file name. For example, grep
-lZ outputs a zero byte after each file name instead of the
usual newline. This option makes the output unambiguous, even
in the presence of file names containing unusual characters like
newlines. This option can be used with commands like find
-print0, perl -0, sort -z, and xargs -0 to process arbitrary
file names, even those that contain newline characters.

| gzip
|
-a --ascii
Ascii text mode: convert end-of-lines using local conventions.
This option is supported only on some non-Unix systems. For
MSDOS, CR LF is converted to LF when compressing, and LF is con-
verted to CR LF when decompressing.
-c --stdout --to-stdout
Write output on standard output; keep original files unchanged.
If there are several input files, the output consists of a
sequence of independently compressed members. To obtain better
compression, concatenate all input files before compressing
them.
-d --decompress --uncompress
Decompress.
-f --force
Force compression or decompression even if the file has multiple
links or the corresponding file already exists, or if the com-
pressed data is read from or written to a terminal. If the input
data is not in a format recognized by gzip, and if the option
--stdout is also given, copy the input data without change to
the standard ouput: let zcat behave as cat. If -f is not given,
and when not running in the background, gzip prompts to verify
whether an existing file should be overwritten.
-h --help
Display a help screen and quit.
-l --list
For each compressed file, list the following fields:
compressed size: size of the compressed file
uncompressed size: size of the uncompressed file
ratio: compression ratio (0.0% if unknown)
uncompressed_name: name of the uncompressed file
The uncompressed size is given as -1 for files not in gzip for-
mat, such as compressed .Z files. To get the uncompressed size
for such a file, you can use:
zcat file.Z | wc -c
In combination with the --verbose option, the following fields
are also displayed:
method: compression method
crc: the 32-bit CRC of the uncompressed data
date & time: time stamp for the uncompressed file
The compression methods currently supported are deflate, com-
press, lzh (SCO compress -H) and pack. The crc is given as
ffffffff for a file not in gzip format.
With --name, the uncompressed name, date and time are those
stored within the compress file if present.
With --verbose, the size totals and compression ratio for all
files is also displayed, unless some sizes are unknown. With
--quiet, the title and totals lines are not displayed.
-L --license
Display the gzip license and quit.
-n --no-name
When compressing, do not save the original file name and time
stamp by default. (The original name is always saved if the name
had to be truncated.) When decompressing, do not restore the
original file name if present (remove only the gzip suffix from
the compressed file name) and do not restore the original time
stamp if present (copy it from the compressed file). This option
is the default when decompressing.
-N --name
When compressing, always save the original file name and time
stamp; this is the default. When decompressing, restore the
original file name and time stamp if present. This option is
useful on systems which have a limit on file name length or when
the time stamp has been lost after a file transfer.
-q --quiet
Suppress all warnings.
-r --recursive
Travel the directory structure recursively. If any of the file
names specified on the command line are directories, gzip will
descend into the directory and compress all the files it finds
there (or decompress them in the case of gunzip ).
-S .suf --suffix .suf
Use suffix .suf instead of .gz. Any suffix can be given, but
suffixes other than .z and .gz should be avoided to avoid confu-
sion when files are transferred to other systems. A null suffix
forces gunzip to try decompression on all given files regard-
less of suffix, as in:
gunzip -S "" * (*.* for MSDOS)
Previous versions of gzip used the .z suffix. This was changed
to avoid a conflict with pack(1).
-t --test
Test. Check the compressed file integrity.
-v --verbose
Verbose. Display the name and percentage reduction for each file
compressed or decompressed.
-V --version
Version. Display the version number and compilation options then
quit.
-# --fast --best
Regulate the speed of compression using the specified digit #,
where -1 or --fast indicates the fastest compression method
(less compression) and -9 or --best indicates the slowest com-
pression method (best compression). The default compression
level is -6 (that is, biased towards high compression at expense
of speed).
