Problem
I'm looking for a bash command, which I can use to limit the number of lines of a file or another command output. E.g. would limit the output of the ls command to 10 lines (in the example, the command "limit" is naturally a imaginary command, whose equivalent I'm looking for). Is there such command…
Error Output
ls -thor | limit 10

Fix for: Bash command to cut output after x number of lines
Low Risk
Use head: 10 lines is the default. Read the head man page for more options. (older versions of head also support usage without the explicit as in )
