In the chapter, Introducing the Core and its Capabilities, we saw how native Linux commands were not convenience aliases in PowerShell on Linux, but the commands themselves. In this recipe, we would demonstrate using Linux commands at the PowerShell prompt. Remember how we used a Bash terminal to run the commands ls -l and awk to list the contents of a directory, and separate the columns in the output, in the recipe, Comparing the outputs of Bash and PowerShell. We will perform the same operation on the home directory, from with PowerShell, without using any of the PowerShell cmdlets.
