Your first question was already answered in the part you snipped.
Okay, so you store the output in a text file. But then what do you do
with it?
That was answered also. It's just a convenience for me when I don't
know where a file is but I know the name. The only time it does not
help me is when some file is newer than the dump. And since the dump is
done as root, it doesn't complain during the dump about permissions.
And since the dump file allows all to read it, joe user can just grep it
to find things, fast.
Who said anything about searching inside files?
Andrew, the person asking the question to begin with. The person to
whom you were offering advice.
grepping through /du-a isn't going to find, for example, "which
blasted file has the definition for ENOBUFS".
Sorry, I didn't quite catch that part. Please disregard my useless
interruption. Bowing out.
