ExplainShell explains those cryptic command options

(1/1)

Edvard:
Mouser mentioned this in IRC, and there's a nice little write-up at Ghacks here:
http://www.ghacks.net/2013/12/02/explain-shell-breaks-linux-command-line-arguments/

Explain Shell is a free online service that will break down command line arguments that you enter for you. If you do not know what the commands find . -type f -print0, tar xzvf archive.tar.gz or iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s ip-to-block -j DROP do, you can find out now using the service.

For those who use such things...

Thanks E-Man! That's very handy - and a great resource for bringing a new shell user up to speed. :Thmbsup:
