| less filename | Displays file with minimal space. |
| ln -s {source} {dest} | Creates a symbolic link from {source} to {dest}. {Source} can be a directory or a file. Allows you to move around with ease instead of using long and complicated path names. |
| logout | Exits and disconnects your network connection |
| lpq {-Pprintername} | Reports all print jobs in the queue for the named printer. If no printer is named with -Pprintername, but the "PRINTER" environment variable is set to a printer name, "lpq" will report on that printer. |
| ls{directory} | Shows directory listing. If no "directory" is specified, "ls" prints the names of the files in the current directory. |
| ls -l {directory} | Shows long directory listing. |
| m | |
| mail {login-name} | Read or send mail messages. If no "login-name" is specified, "mail" checks to see if you have any mail in your mail box. With a "login-name", "mail" will let you type in a message to send to that person. For more advanced mail processing, you might try "elm" or "pine" at the command line, or "M-x mail" in emacs. |
| mkdir dirname | Makes a sub-directory named "dirname" in the current directory. |
| man -k pattern | Shows all manual entries which have "pattern" in their description. |
