Description
find path ... expression
find searches a given file hierarchy specified by path, finding files that match the
criteria given by expression. Each directory, file, and special file is “passed through”
expression. If you use the –exec, –ok, or –cpio primary, expression runs a
specified command on each file found. A nonexistent expression or an expression
with commands to run automatically uses the –print primary to display the name of
any file that matches the criteria of expression.
find builds expression from a set of primaries and operators; juxtaposition of two
primaries implies a logical AND operator.
Operators and Primaries
find supports the following operators:
–a Used between primaries for a logical AND. You can omit this operator to get
the same result, since logical AND is assumed when no operator is used
between two primaries.
–o Used between primaries for a logical OR.
! Precedes an expression in order to negate it.
You can group primaries and operators using parentheses. You must delimit all
primaries, operators, numbers, arguments, and parentheses with white space. Each
