1) Search for all *. h In/tmp, search for "SYSCALL_VECTOR" in these files, and print out all file names containing "SYSCALL_VECTOR ".

A) find/tmp-name "*. h" | xargs-n50 grep SYSCALL_VECTOR
B) grep SYSCALL_VECTOR/tmp/*. h | cut-d': '-f1 | uniq> filename
C) find/tmp-name "*. h"-exec grep "SYSCALL_VECTOR" {}\;-print

2) find/-name filename-exec rm-rf {}\;
Find/-name filename-OK rm-rf {}\;

3) For example, to search for files larger than 3 m on a disk:
Find.-size + 3000 k-exec ls-ld {};

4) copy the find to another place.
Find *. c-exec cp '{}'/tmp ';'

If a special file exists, you can use cpio or the following syntax:
Find dir-name filename-print | cpio-pdv newdir

6) Search for the files changed at 16:36:37,-11-30.
# A = 'Find./-name "* php" '| ls-l -- full-time $ A 2>/dev/null | grep "2004-11-30 16:36:37"
