How do you view the contents of a file in Linux?..

Answer / hr@tgksolutions.com

To view the contents of a file under Linux, you can use the 'cat', 'less','more', and 'tail' commands. Depending on the file size and required information, each command has a specific use case.

'cat' displays the full file at once, 'less' and'more' allow for paginated browsing, and 'tail' displays the final few lines. Candidates should explain these differences. This demonstrates how adaptable they are in managing various situations.
