<p>62.2.156.130: c4tolobocol</p> <hr /> <div>catrletob<br /> [[find]] is a powerful [[Linux]] command used to locate files in many ways.<br /> <br /> Note: This is ''perhaps'' the most complex (grammatically) Unix command there is. Don't worry if it looks confusing. Few Linux pros really know all the ins and outs of it, either.<br /> <br /> = Examples =<br /> <br /> [[find]] . -print<br /> Locate all files, links, and directories. &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> [[find]] . -name '.txt' -print<br /> Locate all files named .txt, from current dirctory. &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> [[find /home/knoppix -name '*.bak' -print<br /> Locate all files in other directory, as above.<br /> <br /> [[find]] . -daystart -cmin -3660 -cmin 0 -name '.txt' -print<br /> Locate all files, named '''.txt, and have changed yesterday. &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> [[find]] . --maxdepth 1 -type f -print<br /> Locate all &quot;only&quot; files in current directory.<br /> <br /> Yes, the grammar and switches can get quite intense.<br /> <br /> Where do you find this stuff? If man pages don't have enough examples. Try linux help sites, the old guy's Unix books, or FAQ Unix command web searches.<br /> <br /> [[Old GuyUnixBooks]]<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Useful Linux Commands]]</div>
