[Linux] How to add a literal tab character in a bash shell?

[Linux] How to find all files containing specific text on Linux?

grep -rnw '/path/to/somewhere/' -e 'pattern'

• -r or -R is recursive,
• -n is line number, and
• -w stands for match the whole word.
• -l (lower-case L) can be added to just give the file name of matching files.

P.S. example: to find "if ["

grep -rnw '/path/to/somewhere/' -e 'if \['




[Linux] Create encrypted (password protected) zip/upzip file

 - zip 

This will prompt for a password:

zip --encrypt file.zip files

This is more insecure, as the password is entered/shown as plain text:

zip --password (password) file.zip files

Warning, the standard zip encryption is very weak and is easily cracked.

- unzip 

unzip -P (password) file.zip

[Linux] How can I get what my main function has returned

Most shells store the exit code of the previous run command in $? so you can store or display it.

$ ./a.out
$ echo $?     # note - after this command $? contains the exit code of echo!

or

$ ./a.out
$ exit_code=$?    # save the exit code in another shell variable.

[Linux] Checking if a directory exists in Unix (system call)

#include <sys/stat.h>

{
    ...it is a directory...
}
