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.

    And silence her six
    And mix
    Her spices and core
    And slice her apples, and find her four.

    born to set thy people free;
    from our fears and sins release us,
    let us find our rest in thee.
