Commands
This is the Title of the Book, eMatter Edition

Alphabetical Summary of Commands
accept
accept [option] destination
System administration command. Instruct printing system to
accept jobs for the specified print queue or queues. Depending on
queue settings, the system may prompt for a password. Also
invoked as cupsaccept.
Option
-E Require encryption when connecting.
access
access [mode] [filename]
Check whether a file is available for the action specified with the
mode argument: r for read, w for write, x for execute. Used mostly
in scripting, access works better than test because it uses a direct
system call rather than looking at the file permissions, which can
be misleading when a filesystem is mounted read-only.
Options
--help
Display help message, then quit.
--version
Display version, then quit.
aclocal
aclocal [options]
GNU autoconf tool. Place m4 macro definitions needed by auto-
conf into a single file. The aclocal command first scans for macro
definitions in m4 files in its default directory (/usr/share/aclocal on
some systems) and in the file acinclude.m4. It next scans for macros
used in the configure.in file. It generates an aclocal.m4 file that
contains definitions of all m4 macros required by autoconf.
Options
--acdir=dir
Look for macro files in directory dir instead of the default
directory.
--help
Print help ...
