How to do a kickflip on Linux

I'm not quite a proper wizard when it comes to the wide world of Unix, but I've
picked up a couple neat tricks over the years. I might occasionally update this
page.

<h2>while true; do thing; done</h2>

<h2>for i in {0..5} do; thing{i}; done</h2>

<h2>nohup</h2>

Short for "no hangup", `nohup` allows another command to ignore the hangup
signal (SIGHUP). This, probably among other things, allows a command to run in
the background, continuing after an SSH disconnect, or other logouts. This has
proven very useful in my work, where certain processes can kick me out of SSH.

<h2>The Difference Between Parameters and Arguments</h2>

Simply put, a parameter is part of the function definition:

<code>
//          vvvvv This is a parameter
fn do_stuff(input: i32) {
    ...
}
</code>
