Instead of using `grep "(1)"`, use the `-s` switch: $ apropos -s1 copy bsdcpio (1) - copy files to and from archives cp (1)

Instead of using `grep "(1)"`, use the `-s` switch:
$ apropos -s1 copy
bsdcpio (1) - copy files to and from archives
cp (1) - copy files and directories
dd (1) - convert and copy a file

- barrkel 14y agoI think it's better to use grep. Knowing the options to apropos has very low value. Knowing grep has lots and lots of value.
- tomp 14y agoI agree. I have no idea how to use `find`. I always do `find . | grep whatever`, since I know the basics of grep.
- Dobbs 14y agoLearning find is a worthy investment. find ./ -name "*.log" -size +2G -ctime +3 | xargs -P 8 gzip Will find all log files over 2 gigs and older than 3 days. Then it will gzip them split across 8 parallel gzip processes.
