**The Linux Command Line**

**By** //William Shotts//

**Attachment**: {{gnu-linux:shell:media:tlcl-19.01.pdf}}

This book is a broad overview of __living__ on the Linux command line. Unlike some books that  concentrate on just a single program, such as the shell program, bash, this book will try to  convey how to get along with the command line interface in a larger sense. How does it all work? What can it do? What's the best way to use it?
