In a Linux terminal or console, you often encounter console information that provides details about the system and session you are using.
Here are some common elements of console information in a Linux terminal:
1. Username and Hostname:
- When you open a terminal, you typically see your username followed by the hostname of the system you are logged into. For example: `username@hostname`.
2. Current Directory (PWD):
- The current directory, also known as the present working directory (PWD), is often displayed to show your location within the file system. You will see the path to the directory you are currently in.
3. Shell Prompt:
- The shell prompt is the text or symbol that indicates that the terminal is ready to accept commands. It often ends with a "$" for regular users or a "#" for the root user (superuser).
4. Console TTY Number:
- In a multi-terminal system, the TTY number may be displayed to indicate the virtual terminal being used. For example, "tty1" represents the first virtual terminal.
5. Shell Information:
- Some Linux distributions display additional information about the shell you are using, such as the shell name (e.g., "bash") and version.
