They are switches. They alter the output you get back from various commands. For axample ls -a = directory listing of ALL files (includes all files beginning with '.') ls -l = Give me the list in 'long' format ls -al = Give me that list again, in long format and shaw ALL files too try man ls for full details on the shit-load of switches the ls command has, and then try the same for other stuff like ps, grep, find, awk, gcc, etc. etc. etc......
