Power Use of UNIX
summary
Live demos use grep, sed, awk, find, zsh, rsync, lsof, fuser, du/df and htop and show the /proc filesystem trick for passing a command’s output as a file, with a 30,000‑line “haystack” example and a concrete claim that dumping logs to flat files and searching with grep outperforms the NoSQL query path. It emphasizes the Unix model everything is a file, practical shell features like parameter‑substitution and /proc/self/fd to treat output as files, and tools that actually move, find and transform large datasets quickly.
