What does P mean in sed?
In sed, p prints the addressed line(s), while P prints only the first part (up to a newline character \n ) of the addressed line. If you have only one line in the buffer, p and P are the same thing, but logically p should be used.
What does the exec command do?
The exec command is a powerful tool for manipulating file-descriptors (FD), creating output and error logging within scripts with a minimal change. In Linux, by default, file descriptor 0 is stdin (the standard input), 1 is stdout (the standard output), and 2 is stderr (the standard error).
How do you exit out of exec?

What do the functions quit and exit do in Python?
The functions quit (), exit (), sys.exit () and os._exit () have almost same functionality as they raise the SystemExit exception by which the Python interpreter exits and no stack traceback is printed. We can catch the exception to intercept early exits and perform cleanup activities; if uncaught, the interpreter exits as usual.
What’s the difference between sys.exit and quit?
Unlike quit () and exit (), sys.exit () is considered good to be used in production code for the sys module is always available. The optional argument arg can be an integer giving the exit or another type of object. If it is an integer, zero is considered “successful termination”.
What happens when you run exec from the terminal?
Note: exec command does not create a new process. When we run the exec command from the terminal, the ongoing terminal process is replaced by the command that is provided as the argument for the exec command.
What happens if exec fails for any reason?
If exec failed, it does not matter why exec failed. If the child process failed for any reason, the calling process is in trouble and needs to stop. Don’t waste lots of time trying to anticipate all possible error conditions.
