What is the Linux filenaming convention? I see file names like: file.filename.tar.gz, and some rpm names which are even longer.
What do all of the seperating periods mean?
I'm coming over from windows, so I'm used to the filename.ext. How do I tell which linux files are executable, etc? Also, I read somewhere that a file such as: ".filename" is considered hidden. How do I show hidden files?
I'm using Redhat 7.2 distro.
Thanks ahead for any help.
