The Essential QNX Commands

cd -- change directory
examples: cd changes to your root directory (ie /home/stealth). cd /home/stealth/data changes the working directory to /home/stealth/data cd .. moves back one directory cp -- copy a file or directory cp [options]... source_file target_file examples: cp stealth.sol backup/stealth.sol.bak copies stealth.sol to the directory backup with the name stealth.sol.bak cpcopies *.log data all .log files to the directory data. If the directory data does not exist, all of the files will be copied to a single file called data. ls -- lists a directory ls [options] [file ...] important switches -l -- long list. Shows file attributes and sizes -D -- shows only directories example: ls -l stealth* a long listing of all files and directories starting with stealth (output follows)

man -- manual page

man is a program that displays the manual page for a command using an html viewer called lynx. Not all QNX commands are documented such that man works! example: man ls see also: use mkdir -- makes a directory mkdir [-p] [-m mode] dir... example: mkdir test makes a directory called test mv -- move or rename a file or directory mv [options] source_file target_file examples: mv stealth.sol stealth.sol.bak renames stealth.sol to stealth.sol.bak mv stealth.sol backupto backup UNLESS backup is a directory in which it moves steatlh.sol to renames stealth.sol backup/stealth.sol ps -- show process status example:

ps used to see what processes are running similar to sin pwd -- print working directory

The pwd utility writes the pathname of the current working directory to the standard output. This is a very usefully utility when you are "lost" and don't know which directory you are in. example: pwd

if you are in the /home/stealth/src dirctory pwd will return /home/stealth/src rm -- remove files or directories Once a file or directory is removed it is deleted permentantly! important switches: -f -- force removal (no prompting) -r -- remove directory and its contents examples: rm data* remove all files in current directory starting with the letters "data" rm -r data* remove all files AND all directories starting with the letters "data" sin -- system info examples: sin shows all running processes sin irqs shows which irqs are used and by which process

use -- gives help on a QNX command
