New stuff all the time . Didn't know this one . Quote from Facebook /Puppy Linux Users Group
Display all 2955 possibilities? (y or n)

bring up the command prompt and type the tab key twice and you will see the list of commands available to you in Puppylinux.

Perhaps someone knows how to get up all the b's for instance?

"where" is a bash script to "find executable files in PATH that match patterns"

Where comes with the source for bash.

For help, type: where -h

For example:

Code: Select all

# where f2fs
/usr/sbin/defrag.f2fs
/usr/sbin/dump.f2fs
/usr/sbin/f2fscrypt
/usr/sbin/f2fstat
/usr/sbin/fibmap.f2fs
/usr/sbin/fsck.f2fs
/usr/sbin/mkfs.f2fs
/usr/sbin/parse.f2fs
/usr/sbin/resize.f2fs
/usr/sbin/sload.f2fs

Gzipped, just click it to unzip.
