Linux command: Find

1.find command:

Find Pathname-options [-print-exec-ok ...]

2. Usage:　

The directory path that the Pathname:find command looks for. For example, use. To represent the current directory, and/to represent the system root directory.

The-print:find command outputs the matched file to standard output.

The-exec:find command executes the shell command given by the parameter to the matching file. The corresponding command is in the form of ' command ' {} \;, note the space between {} and \;

-ok: The same as-exec, except that the shell command given by the parameter is executed in a more secure mode, prompting the user to determine whether to execute before executing each command.

-name finds files by file name.

Find. -name "*.log" finds files that end with. Log in the current directory.

-perm to find files according to file permissions.

find/opt/soft/test/-perm 777 Find a file with permission 777 in the/opt/soft/test/directory

B-block device files.

D-Directory.

C-character device file.

P-Pipeline file.

L-Symbolic link file.

F-Normal file.

-size N:[c] finds files with a file length of n blocks, with C indicating the length of the file in bytes. -n means that the file change time is now less than n days, and + n means that the file change time is now N days ago.

Find. -size +1000c find files larger than 1K in the current directory

-amin N Find the last n minutes of files accessed in the system

-atime N Find the last n*24 hour Access file in the system

-cmin n Find files in the last n minutes of the system changed file status

-mmin n Find files that have changed file data in the last N minutes of the system

-mtime n Find files that have changed file data for the last n*24 hours in the system

Find-atime-2 find files that have been modified within 48 hours

3.exec:

The-exec parameter is followed by command, which terminates with a; for the end of the flag, so the semicolon behind this command is indispensable, considering that the semicolons in each system have different meanings, so precede the backslash.

{} curly braces represent the file name found in the previous find.

Find.　　-type f-exec ls-l {} \; The find command matches all normal files in the current directory and lists them using the Ls-l command in the-exec option.

Find.　　-name "*.log"-mtime +5-ok rm {} \; Find files that change time before n days in the directory and delete them, giving hints before deleting them

Find. -name "*.log"-exec mv {}..　　\; Find files move to the specified directory
