Find

Find

In Unix-like and some other operating systems, find is a command-line utility that searches through one or more directory trees of a file system, locates files based on some user-specified criteria and applies a user-specified action on each matched file. The possible search criteria include a pattern to match against the file name or a time range to match against the modification time or access time of the file. By default, find returns a list of all files below the current working directory.

Famous quotes containing the word find:

    Can you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty?
    Bible: Hebrew, Job 11:7.

    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    It snowed in spring on earth so dry and warm
    The flakes could find no landing place to form.
