find - search a file hierarchy
Synopsis
Description
Options
find [-H | -L | -P] [-Xdx] [-f file] Path-list [file ...] expression
The find utility recursively descends the directory tree for each file listed, evaluating
an expression (composed of the “primaries” and “operands” listed below) in terms of
each file in the tree.
-H Cause the file information and file type returned for each symbolic link
specified on the command line to be those of the file referenced by the link,
not the link itself. If the referenced file does not exist, the file information
and type will be for the link itself. File information of all symbolic links not
on the command line is that of the link itself.
-L Cause the file information and file type returned for each symbolic link to be
those of the file referenced by the link, not the link itself. If the referenced
file does not exist, the file information and type will be for the link itself.
-P Cause the file information and file type returned for each symbolic link to be
those of the link itself.
-X A modification to permit find to be safely used in conjunction with xargs. If
a file name contains any of the delimiting characters used by xargs, a
diagnostic message is displayed on standard error, and the file is skipped.
The delimiting characters include single (’) and double (“) quotes, backslash
(\), space, tab and newline characters.
-d Cause find to perform a depth-first traversal, i.e. directories are visited in
post-order and all entries in a directory will be acted on before the directory
itself. By default, find visits directories in pre-order, i.e. before their
contents. Note, the default is not a breadth-first traversal.
-f Specify a file hierarchy for find to traverse. File hierarchies may also be
specified as the operands immediately following the options.
-x Prevent find from descending into directories that have a device number
different than that of the file from which the descent began.
