	Command (computing) Summary
		Commands are the instructions, also called directives, which are conveyed to a computer or an associated device.
		In computing, a command is a directive to a computer program acting as an interpreter of some kind, in order to perform a specific task.
		Most commonly a command is a directive to some kind of command line interface, such as a shell.

	Learning to Use UNIX and Consulting Assitance - computing.vt.edu
		A dash is used to specify options to most UNIX commands.
		The last example illustrates how more than one option may be specified when entering a command; it is not necessary to precede each option with a dash.
		The "info" command is available with the AIX operating system to invoke the IBM InfoExplorer and is typically not found on other implementations of UNIX.

	command line from FOLDOC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Commands are input with the help of a keyboard or similar device and are interpreted and executed by the program.
		Command line interfaces usually provide greater flexibility than graphical user interfaces, at the cost of being harder for the novice to use.
		Some commands require each option to be a separate argument, introduced by a new "-" or "/", others allow multiple option letters to be concatenated into a single argument with a single "-" or "/", e.g.

		If a command is issued by the user, the command is forwarded to a simulated vehicle to carry out the appropriate movements.
		These commands allow a user to instruct the creatures to perform certain actions such as moving around within a room or moving from room to room.
		One way to address this need is to use robots to supplement and assist the first responders to allow them to focus their efforts on rescuing as many victims as possible while minimizing risks to themselves.

	Noncommand User Interfaces
		Most computer history textbooks use fundamental changes in the underlying hardware technology as the defining feature of computer generations, but as shown in Table 1, there are actually several other interesting dimensions of computing that have followed a set of generations roughly parallel with hardware developments, as the scope of user interfaces has broadened [47].
		With this syntax, the computer has knowledge of the operand at the time where the user tries to select the operator, and it can therefore help the user select a function that is appropriate for that object by only showing valid commands in menus and such.
		Users of traditional computers have been chained to their screens to the extent that many non-technical users talk about the screen as if it were the computer.

		All of the computer's hardware is included in the TCB, but a person administering the system should be concerned primarily with the software components of the TCB.
		Normal user commands do not need a real owner or group since they can be executed by anyone and are not set user ID (SUID) or set group ID (SGID).
		Administrative user commands are executable only by root, members of an administrative group, and members who are specified in the extended access control list (ACL) entries.
