• the command line interface provided a way to manipulate a computer over simple, text-based connections
• most users interact with a command-line environment using the Terminal application
• A shell is a special command-line tool that is designed specifically to provide text-based interactive control over other command-line tools.
• most shells provide some means of combining multiple tools into structured programs, called shell scripts
• the examples in this book assume that you are using the standard OS X shell
• The standard shell is bash if you are running OS X v10.3 or later
• run command-line tools that OS X provides by typing the name of the tool
• tools also can take a number of flags (sometimes called switches
• tools take arguments
• Most commands in the shell operate on files and directories, the locations of which are identified by paths
• directory names that make up a path are separated by forward-slash characters
• current working directory. When you specify a filename or path that does not start with a slash, that path is assumed to be relative to this directory
• change the current directory using the cd command
• The . directory (single period) is a special directory that, when accessed, points to the current working directory
• The .. directory (two periods) is a special directory that, when accessed, points to the directory that contains the current directory (called its parent directory). This directory is used for navigating up one level towards the top of the directory hierarchy
• At the beginning of a path, the tilde character represents the home directory of the specified user, or the currently logged in user if no user is specified
• The $HOME environment variable can also be used to represent the current user’s home directory
• File and directory names traditionally include only letters, numbers, hyphens, the underscore character (_), and often a period (.) followed by a file extension that indicates the type of file (.txt, for example).
• double quotation marks around the path or the portion that contains the offending characters
• For example, the path name My Disk can be written as "My Disk"
• To terminate the currently running program from the command line, press Control-C
• terminate most scripts and command-line tools by closing a Terminal window
