cat is actually used to concatenate files so if you have two files that you want to merge into a third one you can do

cat file1 file2 > file3

Especially useful for cracking old games

HE SAID IT'S ESPECIALLY USEFUL FOR CRACKING OLD GAMES!

I've used cat to actually concatenate files a lot to re-assemble old Wii games once they were copied to a SIM card, less than using it to see inside a file though. Maybe cracked isn't the correct word I'm not English lol.

never execute "sudo rm -r / --no-perserve-root" because you whole sytem will be gone edit i forgot the directory

the -delete option in find goes AFTER the expression.

find -delete [whatever] will delete EVERYTHING in the current directory and below, like rm -rf *

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Huh. I wonder if GNU find should be modified, so that -delete only works when explicitly given a directory.

This shouldnt do anything since you didn't gave it a directory to start with.
