One of the most important command line utilities that every Linux user should know is Grep. Grep searches one or more input files for lines containing a match to a specified pattern. By default, Grep outputs the matching lines but it has a ton of flags and options available.
ERRATA:
I mentioned that Grep doesn't like binaries. That's not entirely true. There is a way to grep a binary as if it were a text file by using the "-a" flag. One thing to note though is many binaries are just one gigantic line so a lot of the time, all you are going to get is the equivalent of a "cat binary-file".

I'm going to add a bunch of custom configuration to my Xmonad config--LIVE! This will give you some idea of the process I go through, such as reading the documentation, copying and pasting what I find, trying to fix errors in the code, etc.

In this video, I discuss five incredibly useful command line utilities: uname, hostname, basename, dirname and logname. All of these programs are part of the GNU core utilities that are installed on every GNU/Linux distribution. You will find these utilities useful, not only as command line programs, but also in scripting.
