If more information is needed, tell me what I need to type into
a bash terminal, and i do it. Less time figuring out what needs
to be done, and more likely the answers come flying back.



[Also, just because a question had been posted, please
 don't assume it has been understood. We are all experts
 in different branches of engineering.

 e.g. A request like "how many mod files in amba?"
 
 Nope. You may know what you meant,
 and the request is 100% clear to those in the know, but
 I don't know what I am looking for to start the process!

 But if you said do this for me:

  cd /your linux directory
  ls -Rl > files.txt 
  upload that files.txt for everyone to view

 then I do it blindly without having to understand anything,
 AND you got your answer in record time!!!!
