Hints And Solution

Hint(s)

Hint 1Hint 2

to list information about files in a directory, use ls

to print files on the standard output, use cat

Solution

bandit0@bandit:~$ ls -al # (1) 
total 24  
drwxr-xr-x  2 root    root    4096 May  7  2020 .  
drwxr-xr-x 41 root    root    4096 May  7  2020 ..  
-rw-r--r--  1 root    root     220 May 15  2017 .bash_logout  
rw-r--r--   1 root    root    3526 May 15  2017 .bashrc  
-rw-r--r--  1 root    root     675 May 15  2017 .profile  
-rw-r-----  1 bandit1 bandit0   33 May  7  2020 readme  
bandit0@bandit:~$ cat readme  # (2) 

use ls to list the files in the current directory. Use switches like -a to get more information about files
use cat to print the content of the file readme to the standard output

First we check the directory if there is a file called readme in the folder. We can use ls for that. We find the file and cat it out to the standard output with cat readme
