Hey guys, welcome back. So, this is the actual last video of this course and I'm
doing it because I realized that I didn't cover this command when I had
meant to in previous videos, and so this command is gonna help you find
information about all the different flags that you can use for different
programs and different options that you can pass it, as well as general
information about a program. And so the command we are covering is called "man". So, you just
type that into terminal and then the program that you want information about.
So, for instance if I wanted more information about the SSH command I
would type "man ssh" and this is gonna show a manual page about this ssh
program, and so you can see in synopsis it kind of shows you examples of flags that
you can pass it. It has a description and then also has detailed information about
each flag or option that you can pass through the command here, and you can
just hit "q" to quit that. So, if I wanted to for example look up chromium browser
in the man pages I would do that and it will load up this. You can actually launch
chromium browser with a lot of different options as
well, and so this command here is going to help you guys out. There is a
lot of times when people ask for help and the help that they need was right
there on the computer the entire time, but they just you know they didn't know
about it, or they just didn't think about checking the man page. And so
that's why I wanted to let you guys know this. This is one of the best forms of
assistance that you're gonna get for Ubuntu or any other Linux
distribution that has man installed as well. So, that's what I wanted to go over
in this video. If you're confused with any commands or you want to know how
far you can take that
command, for instance I'm gonna type "man nmap" and here it's gonna give a
description, you can really learn a lot about programs here, and here it's gonna
give you examples of how you can run the command. It also gives you an
entire list of all the options that you can the pass this command to as well.
So, I also want to take the opportunity to congratulate you guys and let you
know how awesome this experience has been for me as well. I'm so happy to be
able to share my knowledge about Ubuntu Linux with you guys, and help you guys
take that first step towards becoming a Linux master. We've covered a lot of
command line utilities in this program that you guys will probably find really
helpful later on. If you guys are going into Linux administration career paths,
hopefully this is the stepping stone that you can used to propel you into
Linux even deeper. There is a lot more when it comes to Linux. This has been
over 7 hours of content, but in that over seven hours of content we've only
been able to really scratch the surface on Linux,and so I I hope you guys can
use this to move forward. And so thank you guys so much for joining me.
Hopefully, I will see you guys again soon in maybe another course.
