FSTYP_MSDOS(8) BSD System Manager's Manual FSTYP_MSDOS(8)NAME
fstyp_msdos -- check for an MSDOS FAT volume
SYNOPSIS
fstyp_msdos device
DESCRIPTION
The fstyp_msdos utility is not intended to be run directly, but rather called by fstyp(8) while it is trying to determine which file system
type is present on the given device. It returns 1 if it thinks the device contains an MSDOS FAT volume, and 0 otherwise.

FSCK_MSDOS(8) BSD System Manager's Manual FSCK_MSDOS(8)NAME
fsck_msdos -- DOS/Windows (FAT) file system consistency check
SYNOPSIS
fsck_msdos -q special ...
fsck_msdos -p [-f] special ...
fsck_msdos [-fny] special ...
DESCRIPTION
The fsck_msdos utility verifies and repairs FAT file systems (more commonly known as DOS file systems).
The first form of fsck_msdos quickly checks the specified file systems to determine whether they were cleanly unmounted.
The second form of fsck_msdos preens the specified file systems. It is normally started by fsck(8) run from /etc/rc.boot during automatic
reboot, when a FAT file system is detected. When preening file systems, fsck_msdos will fix common inconsistencies non-interactively. If
more serious problems are found, fsck_msdos does not try to fix them, indicates that it was not successful, and exits.
The third form of fsck_msdos checks the specified file systems and tries to repair all detected inconsistencies, requesting confirmation
before making any changes. The default behavior is to always ask for confirmation of each change. Use the -n or -y options to override this
default behavior.
The options are as follows:
-q Causes fsck_msdos to quickly check whether the volume was unmounted cleanly. If the volume was unmounted cleanly, then the
exit status is 0. If the volume was not unmounted cleanly, then the exit status will be non-zero. In either case, a message
is printed to standard output describing whether the volume was clean or dirty.
-f This option is ignored by fsck_msdos and is present only for compatibility with programs that check other file system types for
consistency.
-n Causes fsck_msdos to assume no as the answer to all operator questions, except ``CONTINUE?''.
-p Preen the specified file systems.
-y Causes fsck_msdos to assume yes as the answer to all operator questions.

fsck_msdos is still under construction.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
# When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it

Greetings,
I'm trying to delete a file with a weird name from within Terminal on a Mac.
It's a very old file (1992) with null characters in the name: ââWord FinderÂŽ Plusâ˘.
Here are some examples of what I've tried:

Hi all...
Well guys and gals, I jumped in at the deep end and found things that PERL cannot do by default.
Many tricky terminal escape codes are not catered for so I had to create workarounds.
One thing I searched for was this:

Well, guys I saw a question about GOTO for Python.
So this gave me the inspiration to attempt a GOTO function for 'dash', (bash and ksh too).
