有趣的 Linux 命令行工具

 

Linux is fun! Huhhh. OK so you don't believe me. Mind me at the end of this article you will have to believe that Linux is actually a fun box.
Linux 是非常有趣的，别不相信 —— 看完这篇文章，你一定会发现 Linux 系统神奇的用法。
请注意，下面部分命令给出了两种包管理软件的安装方式，如果是 Debian 系的系统，请使用 apt，如果是 Red Hat 系的系统，请使用 yum。如果你使用了其他 Linux 发行版，或使用了其他包管理工具（例如 macOS 上的 brew），可能无法找到所有这些命令。
注：为了在代码块中区别输入输出，以 $ 开头的行代表输入，其它行代表输出。

curl

命令：curl
curl 用于互联网传输数据，支持多种协议。通过以下命令可以查看天气：

$ curl -4 http://wttr.in

sl (Steam Locomotive)

命令：sl（蒸汽机车的缩写）
You might be aware of command 'ls' the list command and use it frequently to view the contents of a folder but because of miss-typing sometimes you would result in 'sl', how about getting a little fun in terminal and not command not found.
你一定知道 ls 是用来显示文件夹内容的常见命令，但如果不小心打成 sl 呢？通过包管理工具安装它，你就能看见一辆跑过屏幕的火车，而不是「找不到命令」：

$ apt install sl #In Debian like OS, or aptitude based system $ yum install sl #In Red Hat like OS, or yum based system $ sl

This command works even when you type 'LS' and not 'ls'.

telnet

命令：telnet
No! No!! it is not as much complex as it seems. You would be familiar with telnet. Telnet is a text-oriented bidirectional network protocol over network. Here is nothing to be installed. What you should have is a Linux box and a working Internet.
不！它并不像看上去那样复杂。你会熟悉它的。Telnet 是一个基于文本的双向网络协议。你无需安装它，只需要一台能够联网的 linux 机器就行。

而以下命令将会在你的命令行中生成一个 ASCII 世界地图：

$ telnet mapscii.me

是不是很有趣？

fortune

命令：fortune What about getting your random fortune, sometimes funny in
terminal.
在终端获取随机的人生经验，听上去不错吧？

$ apt install fortune $ yum install fortune $ fortune You're not my type. For that matter, you're not even my species!!! Future looks spotty. You will spill soup in late evening. You worry too much about your job. Stop it. You are not paid enough to worry. Your love life will be... interesting.

rev (Reverse)

命令：rev（反转的缩写）
It reverse every string given to it, is not it funny.
它会反转任何输入的字符串，然后输出。

$ rev 123abc cba321 xuniL eb ot nrob born to be Linux

factor

命令：factor Time for some Mathematics, this command output all the possible factors of a given number.
数学时间到：这个命令会输出一个数字的所有质因数。

$ factor 5 5 5: 5 12 12: 2 2 3 1001 1001: 7 11 13 5442134 5442134: 2 2721067

script

shell 脚本
OK fine this is not a command and a script but it is nice.
它会输出乘法口诀表。

$ for i in {1..9}; do for j in $(seq 1 $i); do echo -ne $i*$j=$((i*j))\\t;done; echo;done 1*1=1 2*1=2 2*2=4 3*1=3 3*2=6 3*3=9 4*1=4 4*2=8 4*3=12 4*4=16 5*1=5 5*2=10 5*3=15 5*4=20 5*5=25 6*1=6 6*2=12 6*3=18 6*4=24 6*5=30 6*6=36 7*1=7 7*2=14 7*3=21 7*4=28 7*5=35 7*6=42 7*7=49 8*1=8 8*2=16 8*3=24 8*4=32 8*5=40 8*6=48 8*7=56 8*8=64 9*1=9 9*2=18 9*3=27 9*4=36 9*5=45 9*6=54 9*7=63 9*8=72 9*9=81

cowsay

命令：cowsay
An ASCII cow in terminal that will say what ever you want.
一个终端里由 ASCII 码组成的牛，你想让它说什么，它就会说什么。

$ apt install cowsay $ yum install cowsay $ cowsay I Love *nix _____________ < I Love *nix > ------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||

How about pipelineing 'fortune command', described above with cowsay?
通过管道指令将 fortune 命令的输出作为 cowsay 的输入：

$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / Q: How many Oregonians does it take to \ | screw in a light bulb? A: Three. One to | | screw in the light bulb and two to fend | | off all those | | | | Californians trying to share the | \ experience. / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||

Note: '|' is called pipeline instruction and it is used where the output of one command needs to be the input of another command. In the above example the output of 'fortune' command acts as an input of 'cowsay' command. This pipeline instruction is frequently used in scripting and programming.
注意：'|' 被称为管道指令，用于将一个命令的输出作为另一个命令的输入。在上面的例子中，fortune 命令的输出作为 cowsay 命令的输入。管道指令经常用于脚本和编程。
xcowsay is a graphical program which response similar to cowsay but in a graphical manner, hence it is X of cowsay.
xcowsay 是一个图形程序，其效果类似于 cowsay，但是是以图形方式显示说话的牛。

$ apt install xcowsay $ xcowsay I Love nix

cowthink is another command, just run cowthink Linux is sooo funny and see the difference in output of cowsay and cowthink. cowthink 是另一个命令，你可以执行 cowthink Linux is sooo funny 看看它和 cowthink 的输出差异。

$ apt install cowthink $ brew install cowthink $ cowthink ....Linux is sooo funny _________________________ ( ....Linux is sooo funny ) ------------------------- o ^__^ o (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||

注：你可以查看以上命令的帮助菜单，可以把牛换成其他会说话的动物。
