Prepare for the Linux+ XK0-006 exam (CompTIA Linux+ V8). In this lesson: inspecting files (ls, stat, file), copying, moving, removing, and comparing files, finding files with find and locate, hard and symbolic links, block and character device files, and special devices like /dev/null and /dev/urandom, with Pinecrest Media, a fictional video streaming company, as the running example. Includes three original practice questions.
Preview the topics
- A partner uploaded a file named clip, with no extension, and nobody knows if it is a video, an image, or text. Which command tells its real type?
- An admin must unmount the media filesystem for maintenance, but umount says that the target is busy. Which command shows the processes that use it?
- An admin deleted the original copy of a subtitle file, yet another name for it still opens with the full content. Both names were on the same filesystem. What kind of link was the other name?
