How to display more lines?

073

To display more lines using the head command, you can use the -n option followed by the number of lines you want to see. Here’s how to do it:

Syntax:

head -n <number> <filename>

Example:

If you want to display the first 20 lines of a file named example.txt, you would run:

head -n 20 example.txt

Additional Notes:

  • You can replace <number> with any positive integer to specify how many lines you want to display.
  • If you want to see all lines of a file, you can use cat <filename> instead, but be cautious with very large files as it will display everything at once.
