Re: parameters and the command line
Am 06. Feb, 2011 schwätzte Lisi so:
Since I first used Linux I have been used (apparently erroneously) to the idea
of:
command options argument
Now suddenly the word "parameters" jumps out at me in this context.
Help! What are parameters?
In this context, they're command arguments.
ls -l /etc/hosts
-l and /etc/hosts are both command arguments, but you could also call them
parameters.
See use of the word parameter in the bash manpage.
