Hi Harry, |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Depends a little, what base you choose. Commandlines tends to be |
| 23 |
shorter than for example lines printed with the dmesg command. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
To get you an idea, how much "much" is: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
# supposing that you have command history enabled with you shell |
| 28 |
# prints the bytes count and the number of lines . You only need to |
| 29 |
# devide one by the other |
| 30 |
> history -1000 | dd | wc -l |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
# for the other estimation you can do this |
| 33 |
> dmesg | dd | wc -l |
| 34 |
|

HTH! |
