A Linux command refers to a program or utility that is executed on the command line interface, accepting lines of text as input and processing them as instructions for the computer. While graphical user interfaces (GUIs) provide a visual representation, they ultimately rely on underlying command-line programs to perform actions. Flags are used to pass options to commands, with the "-h" flag commonly used to access the help page. Arguments or parameters provide input to commands, typically in the form of file paths or other text entered in the terminal. Flags are denoted by hyphens or double hyphens, while the execution of arguments depends on their order within the command.
