Answer #1

col -b: This option do not show any backspaces. It will print only the last character written to each of the column position.

$ man bash | col -b > bashman // man will open manual for bash and col -b will remove all backspaces from that manual and > sign will create new file name called bashman

$ cat bashman // this command will show that bashman file on terminal

$ ^cat^more^ //The cat (short for “concatenate“) , it will open last cat command with more option in which you can see file page by page
