Check These Out
Meaning of switches (see man page too):
v verbose
p ignore mode (permissions)
o ignore owner, group
t ignore time of modification
Disadvantage: If you modify any linked file, this will propagate to all other files which occupy the same space.
- Where $URL is the URL of the file.
- Replace the $2 by $3 at the end to get a human-readable size.

Depending on the TERM, the terminfo version, ncurses version, etc.. you may be using a varied assortment of terminal escape codes. With this command you can easily find out exactly what is going on.. This is terminal escape zen!
$ ( 2>&2 strace -f -F -e write -s 1000 sh -c 'echo -e "initc\nis2\ncnorm\nrmso\nsgr0" | tput -S' 2>&1 ) | grep -o '"\\[^"]*"' --color=always
"\33]4;%p1%d;rgb:%p2%{255}%*%{1000}%/%2.2X/%p3%{255}%*%{1000}%/%2.2X/%p4%{255}%*%{1000}%/%2.2X\33\\\33[!p\33[?3;4l\33[4l\33>\33[?12l\33[?25h\33[27m\33(B\33[m"
Lets say you want to find out what you need to echo in order to get the text to blink..
$ echo -e "`tput blink`This will blink`tput sgr0` This wont"
Now you can use this function instead of calling tput (tput is much smarter for portable code because it works differently depending on the current TERM, and tput -T anyterm works too.) to turn that echo into a much faster executing code. tput queries files, opens files, etc.. but echo is very strait and narrow.
So now you can do this:
$ echo -e "\33[5mThis will blink\33(B\33[m This wont"
