lab46:~/src/cprog$ rm file123
rm: remove regular empty file `file123'? y
lab46:~/src/cprog$ mkdir file123
lab46:~/src/cprog$ rmdir file123
lab46:~/src/cprog$ mv file2 /tmp

unix Keyword 5

Current working directory

lab46:~/src/unix$ pwd
/home/rmatsch/src/unix
lab46:~/src/unix$ cd
lab46:~$ pwd

lab46:~/src$ ls
Makefile  cprog  hello1  hello1.c  submit  unix
lab46:~/src$
lab46:~/src$ cd unix
lab46:~/src/unix$
lab46:~/src/unix$ ls
arc.tar.gz    cs1.txt  cs3.txt  cs5.txt   lab1.txt  lab3.txt  lab5.txt
