So much so that cat errored out too. :P


nyanko@LupinIX:~$ sudo cat /dev/mem | strings | grep llama | wc -l
cat: /dev/mem: Bad address
332


For those people who don't know what that means, here's an explanation:

"But to explain it very simply, what that command does is to dump the computer's memory to the screen (cat), get all the text from the dump(strings), find all lines which have llama in them (grep) and then count the number of lines (wc).

So there were 332 lines with "llama" in them in my laptop's memory. ^_^;"

Of course you can understand llama. :P
