the lines that are unique and the lines that are common

them according to given patterns or line numbers and
outputting the byte count of each new file

Prints the first ten lines (or the given number of lines)
of each given file

Reports the numeric identifier (in hexadecimal) of the
host
hostname
Reports or sets the name of the host
id

ln
Makes hard links or soft (symbolic) links between files
logname
Reports the current user's login name

Lists the contents of each given directory
md5sum
Reports or checks Message Digest 5 (MD5) checksums
mkdir
Creates directories with the given names
mkfifo
Creates First-In, First-Outs (FIFOs), a
“named pipe” in
UNIX parlance, with the given names
mknod
Creates device nodes with the given names; a device node
is a character special file, a block special file, or a
FIFO

Creates temporary files in a secure manner; it is used in
scripts
