command: cat

[Arch User]

It Works On Linux

What coding language would work with this??

cat command examples:

show the contents of /etc/passwd while searching for the user 'rob'

[[email protected] ~]# cat /etc/passwd|grep rob
rob:x:500:500::/home/rob:/bin/bash

Isn't that doing an unnecessary cat, you can just do it like this?

[[email protected] ~]# grep rob /etc/passwd
rob:x:500:500::/home/rob:/bin/bash

@JasKinasis has explained this at #5, and Rob has responded at #6.

It was still early in the morning when I replied, I see that now

rob:x:500:500::/home/rob:/bin/bash

what does this mean?

i think it means rob has user id of 500 (uid) and group id (gid) of 500
