Util-Linux Cheat Sheet

A few days ago I made the GNU Coreutils Cheat Sheet. It had over 15,000 downloads in the first day and a lot of people suggested that I create more cheat sheets. So I did! I just created util-linux cheat sheet. Most of the utilities from util-linux are available on all Linux systems, so this cheat sheet provides a great overview of what you can do in Linux.

Here is the util-linux cheat sheet that lists all programs in the util-linux package:

This cheat sheet is really useful if you're learning Linux and want to have a quick overview of all the available commands!

If you liked this Linux cheat sheet, take a look at other cheat sheets that I've created over the years. They include awk, ed, sed, perl, screen, bash, and many others.

Any chance you could make one of these for FreeBSD? The commands are similar but not exactly the same (gpart instead of addpart) for example.

imho it would be more useful if the cheat sheets were organized by topic (instead of alphabetical).

I've been using Linux for quite some time, and even I didn't know about all these. Just a quick skim through and I've already learned of some commands I didn't know about that are directly relevant to stuff I'm doing. Thanks for this & the other cheat sheets.
