The idea of showing gnu/linux/unix command by using examples is to guide new user to have better understanding of the basic usage of a command and adapt to use it instantly. We are always recommend users to try out the command for more capabilities by going through the manuals. But usually a useful command comes with a very technical and complete manual, and these manual sometime scares a new user away. It is because they couldn’t find a simple example just to try it out. For example when a student wants to learn up how to add two numbers and you throw him/her a Calculus book. Manuals are meant for reference, examples are meant for learning. Thats why when people ask you to RTFM ( Read the Fxcking Manuals ), they expect you to feel Fxck if you do not cope with it well.
We are open to anyone who wants to become an author for this blog to build up the database. With this we can learn more, we look forward to see a combo of commands where it combines together and performs wonders. For those who are interested, please email mysurface \At gmail \Dot com. Maybe this will be evolve to become a useful tools for us in future, where we can type example grep instead of man grep.
