# Small tools, joined {kicker="Chapter 4" lead="How the pipe character chains programs that each do one job to answer a question about a folder."}

Each program in this chapter does one job. \`ls\` lists the names in a folder, \`grep\` keeps the lines that match a pattern, \`sort\` puts lines in order and \`du\` reports how much disk space a file takes. The pipe, the \`|\` character, sends whatever one program prints into the next one, so you can chain them on a single line and read the answer at the end.

:::callout{type="aside" title="The prompt"}
On a Mac, zsh prints \`%\` instead of \`$\`.
:::

Try it in a folder of photographs. In the listings, a line that starts with a dollar sign is one you type, leaving out the dollar, and run with :chip[Enter]{style="key"}. The dollar is the prompt, which the shell prints to show it is waiting for you. The lines under it are the shell’s answer.

\`\`\`console Terminal
$ cd ~/Pictures/2025
$ ls | grep -c 'JPG$'
268
$ ls | grep -v 'JPG$'
IMG_0413.MOV
IMG_0977.MOV
IMG_1502.PNG
$ du -sh *.MOV | sort -rh
812M    IMG_0977.MOV
455M    IMG_0413.MOV
\`\`\`

:::paragraphs{style="resume"}
\`grep -c\` counts the matching lines instead of printing them, and \`-v\` keeps the lines that do not match. The single quotes hand the pattern to \`grep\` as typed; in it, \`$\` marks the end of the line. The star in the last command belongs to the shell: before \`du\` starts, \`*.MOV\` is already the list of names ending in \`.MOV\`.
:::

:::callout{type="aside" title="On a Mac"}
:chip[Ctrl]{style="key"} is :chip[control]{style="key"}

:chip[Enter]{style="key"} is :chip[return]{style="key"}

Shortcuts use :chip[control]{style="key"}, not :chip[command]{style="key"}.
:::

## When a command will not stop

Sooner or later you will start a command that does not finish. Type \`grep JPG\` with no file after it, and \`grep\` sits waiting for you to type the lines it should search. To stop it, hold :chip[Ctrl]{style="key"} and press :chip[C]{style="key"}; the prompt comes back and nothing has changed. To end its input properly instead, press :chip[Ctrl]{style="key"} :chip[D]{style="key"} at the start of an empty line; \`grep\` reads it as the end of its input. :chip[Ctrl]{style="key"} :chip[C]{style="key"} also stops a \`ping\`, which would otherwise print a line every second until you close the window.

The shell also saves you typing. After the first letters of a file or folder name, press :chip[Tab]{style="key"} and the shell fills in the rest; when more than one name fits, it lists them (bash waits for a second :chip[Tab]{style="key"}). :chip[↑]{style="key"} brings back the last command, and each press goes one further back, so a pipeline with a typo can be mended instead of typed again.

1. Type \`cd ~/Pic\` and press :chip[Tab]{style="key"} to complete the folder name, \`Pictures/\`, then add \`2025\` and press :chip[Enter]{style="key"}.
2. Press :chip[↑]{style="key"} until \`ls | grep -v 'JPG$'\` is back on the line.
3. Hold :chip[Ctrl]{style="key"} and press :chip[A]{style="key"} to jump to the start of the line, then :chip[Ctrl]{style="key"} :chip[E]{style="key"} to return to the end.
4. Type \`| sort -r\` and press :chip[Enter]{style="key"}. The same names come back in reverse order.

:::callout{type="sheet" title="Cheat sheet · bash and zsh"}
:::columns{count=2 breaks="8"}
**On the line**

:chip[Ctrl]{style="key"} :chip[A]{style="key"} start of the line

:chip[Ctrl]{style="key"} :chip[E]{style="key"} end of the line

:chip[Ctrl]{style="key"} :chip[W]{style="key"} cut the word to the left

:chip[Ctrl]{style="key"} :chip[K]{style="key"} cut to the end of the line

:chip[Ctrl]{style="key"} :chip[Y]{style="key"} paste what you cut

:chip[Ctrl]{style="key"} :chip[T]{style="key"} swap two letters

**Commands and history**

:chip[Ctrl]{style="key"} :chip[R]{style="key"} search earlier commands

:chip[Ctrl]{style="key"} :chip[P]{style="key"} the previous command

:chip[Ctrl]{style="key"} :chip[C]{style="key"} stop the running command

:chip[Ctrl]{style="key"} :chip[Z]{style="key"} pause it; \`fg\` resumes it

:chip[Ctrl]{style="key"} :chip[L]{style="key"} clear the screen

:chip[Ctrl]{style="key"} :chip[D]{style="key"} close the shell (empty line)

## A script to keep

Commands you type every week are worth keeping in a file. The one below copies each folder in Documents to an external disk, into a new folder named after the day’s date. Save it as \`backup.sh\` in your home folder.

\`\`\`bash backup.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Copy each folder in ~/Documents to a dated folder on the backup disk.
set -euo pipefail

src="$HOME/Documents"
dest="/Volumes/Backup/$(date +%F)"

mkdir -p "$dest"
for dir in "$src"/*/; do
  name=$(basename "$dir")
  rsync -a "$dir" "$dest/$name/"
  echo "copied $name"
done
\`\`\`

:::callout{type="aside" title="Archive mode"}
\`rsync -a\` copies the subfolders too and keeps each file’s dates and permissions.
:::

:::paragraphs{style="resume"}
The first line, the *shebang*, names the program that runs the file. \`set -euo pipefail\` stops the script at the first command that fails, so it never carries on with half a backup. \`$(date +%F)\` runs \`date\` and puts what it prints, such as 2026-09-26, into the path. The quotes round each variable keep a folder called My Taxes in one piece; without them the shell would split the name at the space and \`rsync\` would look for two folders that do not exist.
:::

Run \`chmod +x backup.sh\` once to make the file executable, then start it with \`./backup.sh\`. On Linux an external disk usually appears under \`/media\`, in a folder named after your user, so change the \`dest\` line to match.
