Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Which Linux commands can I build with this tool?
You can build tar, grep, find, and rsync commands. Use the tabs at the top of the page to switch between them and tick the options you need.
How do I learn what each flag means?
Below the command preview, the What each part means list explains every flag and value in plain English, so you know exactly what the command will do.
Is the find delete option dangerous?
Yes. The delete action permanently removes every matching file with no trash bin. The page shows a warning and recommends running the list action first to check the matches.
What does the rsync dry run option do?
Dry run only shows what would happen during the transfer without changing anything. It is the safe way to preview a copy or delete before running it for real.
