1, which

View the command with the which command (and only the executable file under $path to use which to view the file)

How to use: Which LS

2, Whereis

The Whereis command can be used only for program name searches, and only binary files (parameter-B), man description file (parameter-m), and source code file (parameter-s) are searched. If the argument is omitted, all information is returned.

Whereis and locate are all looking for database files, so the lookups are fast and the Find command is slow by traversing the Linux hard drive.

3, locate

Do not find the/tmp/folder

The Mlocate package needs to be installed through the Yum tool before it can be used, and the locate command is found through the database.

Before you can use the Locate command to find a file, you need to update the database with the UpdateDB command first

If there is no updatedb after creating a new file, locate cannot find the file

4. Find

How to use:

find/tmp/-name "LongFei" (Find all files named LongFei under the/tmp/folder)

find/tmp/-name "long*" (Find all files with a long beginning under the/tmp/folder)

find/tmp/-type D (Find the directory under the/tmp/folder)

find/tmp/-type F (find files under the/tmp/folder)

find/tmp/-type b (Find block devices under the/tmp/folder)

find/tmp/-type C (Find character devices under the/tmp/folder)
