In this lesson, you will learn how Linux handles standard input, standard output, and standard error. We will cover redirection, pipes, tee, /dev/null, and the most useful text filtering tools like grep, sort, uniq, wc, cut, tr, awk, and sed. These are essential Linux basics for shell work, log analysis, and DevOps practice.
