find.py(1)¶

Name¶

find.py - Search for files in a directory heirarchy

SYNOPSIS¶

find.py [OPTIONS...] [PATH]

DESCRIPTION¶

find.py currently differs greatly from the GNU implementation of find. We do not currently evaluate expressions. We believe that we can cover most common use cases with options rather than with a Domain Specific Language (DSL), if this is found not to be the case, we will re-evaluate.

We try as much as possible to make the usage feel like the usage of the GNU find utility.

OPTIONS¶

-iname=INAME
    The case-insensitive name spec (glob pattern) to search for.
-name=NAME
    The case-sensitive name spec (glob pattern) to search for.
-type=TYPE
    The type of file to look for. TYPE can be any of the following:

    b   block (buffered) special
    c   character (unbuffered) special
    d   directory
    p   named pipe (FIFO)
    f   regular file
    l   symbolic link
    s   socket

EXAMPLES¶

OVERVIEW¶

This is a work-in-progress, we aim to become feature-compatible with find as released by the Free Software Foundation.

EXIT STATUS¶
