options
I am just beginning to learn unix and I was wondering if there was a list of all the options somewhere on the net or hidden in the man pages?
Also do options always have - and then a letter, or can it be - and a number as well? Thanks! |

The man pages rule all. Conventionally commands have a '-' before an option. Options can be numbers or letters. Infact, the GNU commands take entire words preceded by '--'. comm is an example of a command that takes only numbers as options.
