An introduction to the OS X Terminal介紹了向OS X的終端

Straight from the horse’s mouth -直接從馬的嘴- Apple says蘋果稱 this of the Terminal:這該碼頭：

“UNIX users will feel at home in Darwin, the robust BSD environment that underlies Mac OS X. That environment is accessible at any time from the Terminal application.” “ UNIX用戶將賓至如歸的感覺在達爾文，強勁的BSD的環境， Mac OS X之下的環境，是方便在任何時間從該終端的應用” 。

OK - what about non-UNIX users?確定-什麼非U NIX用戶？

History/Background 歷史/背景

Yes, the Terminal is your gateway to the BSD core that is OS X. But what on earth does that mean?是的，終端是您通往BSD的核心是OS X的，但在地球上是否意味？ Here’s the best way I can think of to explain it.這裡的最佳方法，我能想到的解釋。

The Finder, that “thing” you use to launch programs and sort/re-name/move/delete files - is really just a graphical version of the Terminal. Finder中， “事”您使用的發射程序和排序/重新命名/移動/刪除文件-是真的只是一個圖形版本的終端。 The Terminal is a “text” version of the Finder - and a much more powerful one at that.該碼頭是一個“文本”版本的搜索器-和一個更強大的一個。 When you open programs using the Finder (by double-clicking them) they just open.當您打開的程序使用Finder中（雙擊） ，他們只需打開。 With Terminal, you can launch programs and issue additional parameters - like ‘open x program and then have it open a file’.與碼頭，您可以啟動程序和問題，額外的參數-像『開放x程序，然後它打開一個文件' 。

To be slightly more accurate, the Terminal is actually an interface to a “shell”.要稍微更準確，碼頭，其實是一個接口一個“空殼” 。 The default shell on the Mac is named bash .默認的shell在Mac命名的bash 。 A shell is the program that reads your text, splits the command (launch x program) from the parameters (open a file when x launches) and then executes them.一殼牌是程式讀取您的文字，分裂命令（ x發射計劃）由參數（打開一個文件，當x發射） ，然後執行它們。

Launch 發射

Opening the Terminal is pretty easy.開放碼頭是相當容易。 Open a Finder window, select Applications, then Utilities, and finally double-click the Terminal.打開一個Finder窗口，選擇應用程序，然後公用事業，最後雙擊碼頭。

Yep - that’s the Terminal. yep -的終端。 Pretty dull at first sight.相當沉悶，在第一在望。

You may want to make it a bit easier to get to the Terminal in the future.你可能希望把它變成有點容易獲得到終端在未來的。 Right-click (or ctrl-click for you one-button mouse folks) and select Keep in Dock .右鍵單擊（或Ctrl點擊為您一鍵滑鼠的鄉親） ，並選擇保持在船塢 。 Now it’s just one quick click away.現在，這只是一個快速按一下即可。

Commands 命令

There are a lot of commands.有很多的命令。 Far too many to outline here.到目前為止，太多綱要在這裡。 http://www.ss64.com/bash/ has a huge list.擁有龐大的名單。 Something to keep in mind - Terminal is a bit more unforgiving than Finder.一些請記住， -終端是一個無情的多一點，比查找。 You can accidentally delete, change, and/or otherwise mess things up pretty quickly (esp. if you’re playing around with the你可以不小心刪除，變更和/或否則一塌糊塗，東西相當迅速（ English ）如果您玩弄與 sudo sudo的 command).命令） 。 With that said, once you get used to the Terminal, you’ll wonder how you lived without it.與說，一旦你習慣到終端，您不知道你如何生活沒有它。 An added bonus - once you do get used to using it, you’ll find that ‘learning’ a Linux or Unix based Operating System is much, much easier.另外一個好處-一旦你做習慣使用它，您會發現學習' L inux或基於U NIX操作系統是不多，容易得多。
