Record-Keeping
the last records in the file, giving an idea of how current the file's
contents are. In a sorted comic book list, for example, tail could

The find command lists the names of all the files under a directory
that have a given characteristic (or set of characteristics). The simplest
version of the command is
find dirname
This just displays the names of all files under the given directory
(including files in subdirectories under the directory).
find dirname -name pattern
displays the names of all files the names of which have a certain form.
For example,
find abc -name '*.lst'
lists the names of all files under the directory abc which have the file
extension.lst. In this way, find lets you locate files quickly, even when
you have a complicated file system structure, with many directories
and subdirectories.
