Hi,
find -- Search for files in a directory hierarchy
Summary:
Find is useful to search for files meeting specified criteria in the
specified directory hierarchy. Tip: remember the '-print0 | | xargs -0r'
meme: it is usefull.
Example:
$ find -- List all files in current and its sub Dir.
$ find / -name resolv.conf -- Find the file with the name resolv.conf
$ find /etc -name '*conf*' -- Find all files ending in .conf in the /etc Dir.
$ find ~/ -size 1000c -- Find files that have a size equal to 1KB.
$ find ~/ -size +1500c -- Find files that have a size > 1KB.
$ find ~/ -size -1500c -- Find files that have a size < 1KB.
$ find ~/ -empty -- Find empty files and directories.
$ find ~/ -amin -5 -- Find files accessed in last 5 minutes.
$ find ~/ -atime -1 -- Find files accessed in last 24 hours.
$ find ~/ -mmin -5 -- Find files modified in last 5 minutes.
$ find ~/ -mtime -2 -- Find files modified in last 48 hours.
$ find ~/ -size +1kc -and -mtime 2 -- Find files (Size >1K & modified
time is 2 Days)
$ find ~/ -nouser -- Find files owned by an invalid user.
$ find ~/ -user user1 -- Find files owned by user1.
$ find ~/ -maxdepth 2 -name 'fi*' -- Search for files starting with
'fi' and don't go more 2 level down in the Dir structure.
$ find ~/ -name '*.conf' -ls -- Find the all .conf files and print the
output in ls -l format.
$ find ~/ -name '*.txt' -exec cat {} \; -- Find all text files and cat
the files.
Better (handles any number of files, and files with blanks in the name):
$ find ~/ -name '*.txt' -print0 | xargs -0r cat
$ find ~/ -name '*.txt' -printf %h\\n -- Find all text file and print
the path of the each file.
