Hello everyone

I am fresh from Linux so there are million questions that I am looking for the answers. And my question for today would be the SIBLING command in Linux, what does it do ?

Can any one give me a full detail of this command in Linux ?

Thanks

Best bet for identifying unknown commands: man (Manual Pages). Unfortunately I do not have the sibling command anywhere in my path, and thus not in my man pages. Hopefully using man will help you.

Mm.. I don't think there's any shell command named sibling.

let's see:


nathan@nathan-desktop:~$ man sibling
No manual entry for sibling
nathan@nathan-desktop:~$


I don't think that command even exists

No, there is no such command. In fact, the first hit on Google for "linux sibling" is this thread.

The other results seem to indicate that it is an option for compiling kernels. Not a command.

I think this might be a prank of some kind.

It probably has something to do with sibling nodes of a graph or tree, which would be in line with a kernel compile option. I think.

linuxmanpages.com returned nothing about a command called sibling.

I just jumped on a Solaris box and an SGI box and neither of those systems have any entries for sibling.

if it is a command, its either a script you saw on someones system, or a non-standard UNIX/Linux command or an application.
