Käskykantaan

Käskykantaan is a Finnish term that translates to "command line" or "command prompt" in English. It refers to a text-based interface used to interact with a computer's operating system or software. Instead of using a graphical user interface (GUI) with icons and menus, users type commands and arguments into a terminal window. The computer then executes these instructions.

The käskykantaan allows for more precise control over computer operations and is often used by system administrators, developers, and power users for tasks such as file management, system configuration, and running scripts. Many operating systems, including Windows (Command Prompt and PowerShell), Linux (Bash, Zsh), and macOS (Terminal), provide a käskykantaan. Learning to use the käskykantaan can significantly increase efficiency and unlock advanced functionalities not always available through graphical interfaces. Commands are typically entered one at a time, and the system responds with text output.
