 +====== Command Arguments ======
  
 +  * [[Shell Commands]]
 +
 +A quick note about commands and **arguments**.  A lot of programs use a similar syntax when it comes to passing arguments (or options) to a command.  Not all do, but it's a good chance they do.
 +
 +If there is a **short command**, the argument generally begins with one dash:
 +
 +<code>
 +$ ls -a
 +</code>
 +
 +If there is a **long command** that does something similar, it generally begins with two dashes, followed by a word:
 +
 +<code>
 +$ ls --all
 +</code>
 +
 +There are exceptions to these, but this is mostly true.
