[[email protected] ~]# ls
AAA aaa.sh anaconda-ks.cfg Install.log Install.log.syslog

[[email protected] ~]# find./*-name "[aa]*.sh"-exec rm {} \;
[[email protected] ~]# ls

[[email protected] ~]# ls

AAA anaconda-ks.cfg Install.log Install.log.syslog

[Email protected] ~]# find ~/*-mtime-1-type f-print

/root/aaa

-mtime find files by change time +n means n days ago n =

-type indicates that the file type parameters b/d/c/p/l/f are block devices, directories, character devices, pipelines, symbolic links, normal files,-print printing.

[Email protected] ~]# find./*-mtime +1-type F-print

./anaconda-ks.cfg

./install.log

./install.log.syslog

[Email protected] ~]# ls-l |grep AAA

-rw-r--r--1 root root 134 August 16:25 AAA

[Email protected] ~]# chmod 0777 AAA

[Email protected] ~]# ls-l |grep AAA

-RWXRWXRWX 1 root root 134 August 16:25 AAA

[Email protected] ~]# find./*-cmin-1-type F-print

./aaa

[Email protected] ~]#

-cmin-ctime the file creation time to find the file-cminb represents the number of minutes-ctime represents the number of days-1 for Min, the above example changes the properties of AAA.

[Email protected] share]# LS-LH

Total dosage 28M

-rw-r--r--1 root root 54 July 23:23 Aaa.txt

-rw-r--r--1 root root 6 July 23:19 BBB

-rw-r--r--1 root root 9 July 23:21 ccc.txt

-rw-r--r--1 root root 28M August 18:27 linux_firewall.pdf

[[email protected] share]# find. -type f-size +10-exec ls-l {} \;

-rw-r--r--1 root root 28663077 August 18:27./linux_firewall.pdf

[Email protected] share]#

[[email protected] share]# find. -type f-size-10-exec ls-l {} \;

-rw-r--r--1 root root 54 July 23:23./aaa.txt

-rw-r--r--1 root root 6 July 23:19./bbb

-rw-r--r--1 root root 9 July 23:21./ccc.txt

In the example above,-size find file size By default is the block parameter is N[c], where C stands for bytes, 1 blocks = 512 bytes =512*8 (bit)

-exec executes the command ls-l the found results to show the details: +10=10 files larger than 10 blocks-10 files smaller than 10 are examples of files that look for file sizes of 6 bytes:

[[email protected] share]# find. -type f-size 6c-exec ls-l {} \;

-rw-r--r--1 root root 6 July 23:19./bbb

5

[Email protected] share]# ls-l

Total dosage 28004

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 54 July 23:23 Aaa.txt

-rw-r--r--1 root root 6 July 23:19 BBB

-rw-r--r--1 root root 9 July 23:21 ccc.txt

-rw-r--r--1 root root 28663077 August 18:27 linux_firewall.pdf

[Email protected] share]# find-perm 0777-print

.

./aaa.txt

[Email protected] share]#

-perm by Execute permissions to find 0777= u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rwx and print, you can see one more. This point represents the current directory, is the system default does not matter with LS-A can see each folder will have two hidden files. And.. 。

6

[[email protected] share]# find. -type f-size +10-exec rm {} \;

Locate the file that is larger than 10 in the current path and delete it.

[Email protected] share]# ls-l

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 54 July 23:23 Aaa.txt

-rw-r--r--1 root root 6 July 23:19 BBB

-rw-r--r--1 root root 9 July 23:21 ccc.txt

Then the sort-n is sorted by numeric size-R is descending, by default ascending, Head-n-n is the display of the first nth row.

[[email protected] share]# find. -type f-exec ls-l {} \; | Sort-n-R | Head-2

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 54 July 23:23./aaa.txt

-rw-r--r--1 root root 9 July 23:21./ccc.txt
