一、truncate
truncate --help
Usage: truncate OPTION... FILE...
Shrink or extend the size of each FILE to the specified size
A FILE argument that does not exist is created.
If a FILE is larger than the specified size, the extra data is lost.
If a FILE is shorter, it is extended and the extended part (hole)
reads as zero bytes.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-c, --no-create do not create any files
-o, --io-blocks treat SIZE as number of IO blocks instead of bytes
-r, --reference=RFILE base size on RFILE
-s, --size=SIZE set or adjust the file size by SIZE bytes
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
SIZE is an integer and optional unit (example: 10M is 10*1024*1024). Units
are K, M, G, T, P, E, Z, Y (powers of 1024) or KB, MB, ... (powers of 1000).
SIZE may also be prefixed by one of the following modifying characters:
'+' extend by, '-' reduce by, '<' at most, '>' at least,
'/' round down to multiple of, '%' round up to multiple of.
功能概述
- 缩小或扩展文件到指定的大小；
- （默认）文件不存在会被创建；
- 如果文件大于指定的大小，额外的（末尾的）数据将被丢弃；
- 如果文件小于指定的大小，则对其进行扩展，并且扩展部分读取为零字节；
实例（可用于删除文件末尾指定大小的内容）
-
-s 参数：设置或调整文件到指定的大小。
-s, --size=SIZE set or adjust the file size by SIZE bytes$ echo "123456789" > test_truncate $ hexdump -C test_truncate 00000000 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 0a |123456789.| # 文件大于指定的大小，额外的（末尾的）数据将被丢弃 $ truncate -s 5 test_truncate $ hexdump -C test_truncate 00000000 31 32 33 34 35 |12345| # 如果文件小于指定的大小，则对其进行扩展，并且扩展部分读取为零字节 truncate -s 10 test_truncate $ hexdump -C test_truncate 00000000 31 32 33 34 35 00 00 00 00 00 |12345.....| -
-r 参数：将文件设置为于参考文件相同的大小。
-r, --reference=RFILE base size on RFILE$ ls -l test_truncate* -rw-rw-r-- 1 guest guest 10 Nov 30 01:52 test_truncate -rw-rw-r-- 1 guest guest 21 Nov 30 02:00 test_truncate_ref $ hexdump -C test_truncate 00000000 31 32 33 34 35 00 00 00 00 00 |12345.....| 0000000a # 将test_truncate文件的大小设置为与test_truncate_ref文件相同 $ truncate -r test_truncate_ref test_truncate $ ls -l test_truncate* -rw-rw-r-- 1 guest guest 21 Nov 30 02:01 test_truncate -rw-rw-r-- 1 guest guest 21 Nov 30 02:00 test_truncate_ref $ hexdump -C test_truncate 00000000 31 32 33 34 35 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |12345...........| 00000010 00 00 00 00 00 |.....| -
-c 参数：文件不存在不创建。
-c, --no-create do not create any files# 带-c参数，不会创建不存在的文件 ls -l test_truncate ls: cannot access test_truncate: No such file or directory $ truncate -s 100 -c test_truncate $ ls -l test_truncate ls: cannot access test_truncate: No such file or directory # 不带-c参数，文件不存在则创建，内容都是'0' $ truncate -s 100 test_truncate $ ls -l test_truncate -rw-rw-r-- 1 guest guest 100 Nov 30 01:07 test_truncate $ hexdump -C test_truncate 00000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| * 00000060 00 00 00 00 |....| 00000064
二、head
head --help
Usage: head [OPTION]... [FILE]...
Print the first 10 lines of each FILE to standard output.
With more than one FILE, precede each with a header giving the file name.
With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-c, --bytes=[-]K print the first K bytes of each file;
with the leading '-', print all but the last
K bytes of each file
-n, --lines=[-]K print the first K lines instead of the first 10;
with the leading '-', print all but the last
K lines of each file
-q, --quiet, --silent never print headers giving file names
-v, --verbose always print headers giving file names
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
K may have a multiplier suffix:
b 512, kB 1000, K 1024, MB 1000*1000, M 1024*1024,
GB 1000*1000*1000, G 1024*1024*1024, and so on for T, P, E, Z, Y.
功能概述
将每个文件的前10行打印到标准输出，如果有多个文件则先打印文件名
$ head test_head test_truncate
==> test_head <==
1234567890
==> test_truncate <==
123451234567890
实例（可用于删除文件末尾指定大小的内容）
-
-c 参数：打印文件的前K个字节；如果是-K，则去除末尾K字节，打印前面所有字节。
-c, --bytes=[-]K print the first K bytes of each file; with the leading '-', print all but the last K bytes of each file# 末尾有个回车符 $ cat test_head 1234567890 $ head -c 3 test_head 123$ $ head -c -3 test_head 12345678$ -
-n 参数：打印文件的前K行；如果是-K，则去除末尾K行，打印前面所有行。
-n, --lines=[-]K print the first K lines instead of the first 10; with the leading '-', print all but the last K lines of each file$ cat test_head 1234567890 234567890 34567890 4567890 567890 $ head -n 2 test_head 1234567890 234567890 $ head -n -2 test_head 1234567890 234567890 34567890
三、tail
tail --help
Usage: tail [OPTION]... [FILE]...
Print the last 10 lines of each FILE to standard output.
With more than one FILE, precede each with a header giving the file name.
With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-c, --bytes=K output the last K bytes; or use -c +K to output
bytes starting with the Kth of each file
-f, --follow[={name|descriptor}]
output appended data as the file grows;
an absent option argument means 'descriptor'
-F same as --follow=name --retry
-n, --lines=K output the last K lines, instead of the last 10;
or use -n +K to output starting with the Kth
--max-unchanged-stats=N
with --follow=name, reopen a FILE which has not
changed size after N (default 5) iterations
to see if it has been unlinked or renamed
(this is the usual case of rotated log files);
with inotify, this option is rarely useful
--pid=PID with -f, terminate after process ID, PID dies
-q, --quiet, --silent never output headers giving file names
--retry keep trying to open a file if it is inaccessible
-s, --sleep-interval=N with -f, sleep for approximately N seconds
(default 1.0) between iterations;
with inotify and --pid=P, check process P at
least once every N seconds
-v, --verbose always output headers giving file names
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
If the first character of K (the number of bytes or lines) is a '+',
print beginning with the Kth item from the start of each file, otherwise,
print the last K items in the file. K may have a multiplier suffix:
b 512, kB 1000, K 1024, MB 1000*1000, M 1024*1024,
GB 1000*1000*1000, G 1024*1024*1024, and so on for T, P, E, Z, Y.
With --follow (-f), tail defaults to following the file descriptor, which
means that even if a tail'ed file is renamed, tail will continue to track
its end. This default behavior is not desirable when you really want to
track the actual name of the file, not the file descriptor (e.g., log
rotation). Use --follow=name in that case. That causes tail to track the
named file in a way that accommodates renaming, removal and creation.
功能概述：
- -n：显示文件的最后 n 行，默认为 10 行。
- -f：实时追踪文件的变化并输出新增的内容。
- -q：不显示文件名。
- -s：设置输出的间隔时间（秒）。
- -c：以字节为单位显示指定范围的内容。
实例（可用于删除文件开头指定大小的内容）
-
-c 参数：打印文件的后K个字节；如果是+K，则从第K个字节开始打印所有后面的内容。
-c, --bytes=K output the last K bytes; or use -c +K to output bytes starting with the Kth of each file重点：
- 经验证+0和+1都表示从第一个字节开始，和cat功能一样。
- 可用于删除文件前面的内容，输出到新文件：
如需删除文件前面的K字节，则参数为+(K+1)
$ cat test_tail 1234567890 $ tail -c 3 test_tail 90 $ tail -c +3 test_tail 34567890 $ tail -c +0 test_tail 1234567890 $ tail -c +1 test_tail 1234567890 -
-f 参数：实时追踪文件的变化并输出新增的内容。可指定显示几行文件中的内容。
-f, --follow[={name|descriptor}] output appended data as the file grows; an absent option argument means 'descriptor'$ cat test_tail 1234567890 234567890 34567890 4567890 567890 $ tail -2f test_tail 4567890 567890 -
-n 参数：显示文件的最后 n 行，默认为 10 行。
-n, --lines=K output the last K lines, instead of the last 10; or use -n +K to output starting with the Kth$ cat test_tail 1234567890 234567890 34567890 4567890 567890 $ tail -n 3 test_tail 34567890 4567890 567890
四、dd
dd --help
Usage: dd [OPERAND]...
or: dd OPTION
Copy a file, converting and formatting according to the operands.
bs=BYTES read and write up to BYTES bytes at a time
cbs=BYTES convert BYTES bytes at a time
conv=CONVS convert the file as per the comma separated symbol list
count=N copy only N input blocks
ibs=BYTES read up to BYTES bytes at a time (default: 512)
if=FILE read from FILE instead of stdin
iflag=FLAGS read as per the comma separated symbol list
obs=BYTES write BYTES bytes at a time (default: 512)
of=FILE write to FILE instead of stdout
oflag=FLAGS write as per the comma separated symbol list
seek=N skip N obs-sized blocks at start of output
skip=N skip N ibs-sized blocks at start of input
status=LEVEL The LEVEL of information to print to stderr;
'none' suppresses everything but error messages,
'noxfer' suppresses the final transfer statistics,
'progress' shows periodic transfer statistics
N and BYTES may be followed by the following multiplicative suffixes:
c =1, w =2, b =512, kB =1000, K =1024, MB =1000*1000, M =1024*1024, xM =M
GB =1000*1000*1000, G =1024*1024*1024, and so on for T, P, E, Z, Y.
概述
if 表示输入文件，of 表示输出文件，options 是一些可选参数。下面是一些常用的参数：
- bs：设置每次读取和写入的块大小（单位为字节或者是可以添加的后缀，如b、k、m等），默认为512字节。
- count：设置要复制的块数。
- iflag：设置输入选项，常用的选项有direct（绕过缓存直接读取）和sync（同步数据到磁盘）。
- oflag：设置输出选项，常用的选项有direct（绕过缓存直接写入）和sync（同步数据到磁盘）。
五、应用
1. 清空文件内容
