It would take a very long time to learn all of the Unix commands, and frankly, that isn't necessary. Most Unix users have a subset of commands they use all the time, and that is how they learn them.

How can you learn all files in unix?

If you are asking about all commands (which are in fact, files) then the best way to learn how to use them is to use them frequently. Learning about "all" commands is not possible because new ones are created all the time, and it isn't necessary to learn all of them. Usually all it takes is a subset of what you need to use on a day to day basis.

Unix supports DOS commands or not?

Most of MS-DOS' commands were based on those of Unix and CP/M. 'cd', 'dir', 'clear', and 'echo' are usually found in both.

Do Unix commands work in Linux?

The ones that are listed as part of a standard (such as Posix) will work in all UNIX systems (but not all systems, such as Windows command prompt). A lot of UNIX vendors add commands that only work in their version of UNIX, so they aren't as portable across systems as others.
