Allegedly, on or about 24 August 2014, Tod Merley sent several major
syntax errors:
> tail dmesg #prints the last ten lines of dmesg
You mean:
dmesg|tail
You have to pipe the output of dmesg through the tail command, to do
what you want to do.
> less dmesg #prints several lines of dmesg with response to up/down
> arrow to see the whole file - q to end
Likewise, you really mean:
dmesg|less
To pipe the output of the dmesg command through the less command, to
allow paging through it.
> cat dmesg #prints the whole dmesg file to the screen all at once
Also, wrong, and another completely unnecessary use of a cat. Just use
the dmesg command, by itself, and you'll see the whole output dumped to
screen.

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point
trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the
public lists.
George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
