Sysadmin [Howtoforge.com] Linux Commands - Overview and Examples

Thanks. I know there are many commands some common and some obscure that I still haven't mastered. I will bookmark this resource.

 

Allow me to jump in, what *nix utility can find "Sylvester Stallone" in the whole Wikipedia .XML dump (50+GB) when you supposedly don't know the correct name of the beloved actor and type "Silvestor Staloune"?

When pattern searching is to be done, the first searcher that comes to my mind is the typhoon-class searcher Kazahana, especially in 2018 with wide-spreading of 16-threaded CPUs and in Q3 Threadripper 2 with its 32 core is incoming, so those enforced 16 threads come in handy
My two dollars.

The .C source and how to compile it with GCC:
https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/12/85/Kazahana_2014-Dec-04.zip

To compile 16-threaded ELF:

Code:

gcc -O3 -funroll-loops -static -o Kazahana_Hexadecad_GCC_472 Kazahana_r1-++fix+nowait_critical_nixFIX_WolfRAM+fixITER+EX+CS_fix_DEFINE.c -fopenmp -DCommence_OpenMP -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_gcc_mumbo_jumbo_

As a side note, the real men use high caliber "sustained firepower" guns, the gunpower is vital as in this paragon scene, cannot imagine for a moment using even M-16 or AK-47:

How many people are able to see the common thread of Rambo's gun of choice and a text hitter!

The quick showdown, grep (GNU grep) 3.1 (taken from latest MinGW\bin) vs Kazahana (compiled with GCC 4.7.2) on laptop with i5-7200u (2cores/4threads), the 65,865,333,874 bytes Wikipedia is accessed via USB 2.0 HDD:

Code:

C:\MinGW\bin>grep -V

Hm, 4 years later, Wikimedia staff did not correct the misspelled name?!
Usually, Kazahana is 2x to 4x faster than grep, inhere only 1865-1756=109 seconds, the culprit being the external HDD, on modern SSDs with 3000MB/s burst reads I fully expect the 4x quickness to surface.
