Creating terminal commands
I've written a program in C, called count_0.1 which is essentially a word count program.
I want to be able to use it as a command in the terminal (by typing in count), like when you type in ls, you don't have to go to a directory, find an executable and type in: ./ls

I've tried:
  • Adding the line to .bashrc in my home directory: alias count_0.1='count'
  • Putting the count_0.1 file into bin (which made that terminal recognise the command count_0.1, but not count, and if I restarted the terminal, the command no longer worked).
  • Creating a bin folder in my home directory and checking that the path is set there in .profile (in my home directory).
Cheers in advance for any light shed on the issue

nfsiostat(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      nfsiostat(8)

NAME

       nfsiostat - Emulate iostat for NFS mount points using /proc/self/mountstats

SYNOPSIS

       nfsiostat [[<interval>] [<count>]] [<options>][<mount_point>]

DESCRIPTION

       The nfsiostat command displays NFS client per-mount statisitics.

       <interval>
	      specifies the amount of time in seconds between each report.  The first report contains statistics for the time since each file sys-
	      tem was mounted.	Each subsequent report contains statistics collected during the interval since the previous report.

       <count>
	      If the <count> parameter is specified, the value of <count> determines the number of reports generated at <interval> seconds  apart.
	      if the interval parameter is specified without the <count> parameter, the command generates reports continuously.

       <options>
	      Define below

       <mount_point>
	      If  one  or  more  <mount  point> names are specified, statistics for only these mount points will be displayed.	Otherwise, all NFS
	      mount points on the client are listed.

OPTIONS

       -a  or  --attr
	      displays statistics related to the attribute cache

       -d  or  --dir
	      displays statistics related to directory operations

       -h  or  --help
	      shows help message and exit

       -l LIST or  --list=LIST
	      only print stats for first LIST mount points

       -p  or  --page
	      displays statistics related to the page cache

       -s  or  --sort
	      Sort NFS mount points by ops/second
