By using these commands, we can troubleshoot issues with our files without ever having to open the file itself. Finally, we'll provide some examples to help you get started using these commands. So whether you're a beginner or a seasoned Linux user, this video is for you!

Sir I have a doubt regarding one question that you have asked regarding tail command that is print last 20 characters of file. I think there would be tail instead of head.

[@dextutor]

Yes Rohit you are correct.. It should be tail -c 20

[@ronitmehta5730]

So the correct command will be tail -c 20 filename

if i want to see first 4 characters ew use command head -c 4 file name. but this command is not working.
