Lab 5 Post

Unix commands.
1. The Unix command cal allows for you to see the calendar of a specific month out of a specific year depending on what you type in. In windows the equivalent to cal is just going to date and time on the task bar and right clicking the clock and going to date and time.
2. The Unix command ls is a command that allows you to see what files are in your current directory. The equivalent command in windows is just bringing up a folder and viewing the files on it, because windows is a gui it is much more simple to see what is there.
3. The Unix command cd is a command that allows for you to change directory, in windows it is the same thing as just going to my computer and selecting a new folder, and in dos it is the same thing as using the dir command.
4. The Unix command mkdir stands for make directory. This creates a new directory similar to how in windows you use the new folder function.
