Construct a pipeline or single command to perform each of the following functions:
- Display a list of all the files called core anywhere in the file system, that you have access to as an ordinary user.
- Display a list of the process IDs of all the processes on the system running on your behalf when you are logged in as an ordinary user.
- Does the answer to the previous question change if you are logged in as root?
- Display a list of file names, one per line, from the directory /dey, which have the format hda followed by a number. Display the list in ascending order of the number. (My system has file names hda1 to hda12.)
- Display a list of byte offsets in hexadecimal for the starting positions of all null terminated strings of printable characters, at least three characters long, in the file /bin/cat. The solution to this problem may well involve you in looking carefully at some man pages to see which of the commands you have seen so far may help.
