Commands

For POSIX compliant (or partly compliant) systems like FreeBSD, Linux, Mac OS X or Solaris, the basic commands are the same because they are standardized. description list directory clear console copy file(s) move file(s) rename file(s) delete file(s) delete directory create directory change current directory run shell script with new shell kill processes change process priority change io priority create file system file system check and recovery create software ls clear cp mv mv rm rmdir mkdir cd sh file.sh kill, killall nice ? newfs fsck atacontrol, FreeBSD ls clear cp mv mv, rename rm rmdir mkdir cd sh file.sh killall, pkill, kill, skill nice, chrt ionice mkfs fsck (mdadm Linux ls clear cp mv mv rm rmdir mkdir cd sh file.sh kill, killall nice nice[c 1] mkfs fsck diskutil Mac OS X ls clear cp mv mv rm rmdir mkdir cd sh file.sh kill, pkill nice ? newfs fsck Solaris dir cls copy move ren, rename del (erase) rd (rmdir) md (mkdir) cd (chdir) cmd /c file.cmd taskkill start /low, start /normal, start /high, start /realtime ? format chkdsk Windows (cmd) Windows (powershell) dir & ls & GetChildItem clear cp & Copy-Item mv & Move-Item ren, mv rm & Remove-Item rmdir mkdir cd & Set-Location ? taskkill ? ? ? ?

Windows (cygwin, SFU or MKS) NOTE: Linux systems may vary by distribution which specific program, or even 'command' is called, via the POSIX alias function. For example, if you wanted to use the DOS dir to give you a directory listing with one detailed file listing per line you could use alias dir='ls -lahF' (e.g. in a session configuration file).
