10.1.4 Utilizing Command Execution History

When working at the Terminal, you may work a task repeatedly on multiple files, or work multiple tasks on a specific file. In addition, there are times when you need to reconfirm what tasks you have done previously in multiple steps. In some cases, you may want to correct partially and rework the command in case the input is wrong and an error occurs. When you execute various commands, it is useful to know the history of commands that you have executed before.

10.1.3.1 Overview of Quoting Rule

Quoting is to enclose a string with quotation marks. The reason for doing this is to prevent the special characters from being reinterpreted or expanded by the Shell or Shell script when special characters are included in the string. For reference, “special character” refers to a character that can be interpreted differently from the meaning of a character. For example, the wildcard character “*” is a special character.

10.1.1 Standard Input and Output

In the Shell, a standard device is already specified for the input device that receives the input data for execution and the output device for which the processing result is displayed. Therefore, unless there is a specific designation, data is always input from the standard input device, and the processing result is always output to the standard output device.
