Summary
Find command allows you to find:-
- Programs
- Files
man pages
man is short for manual, we cam use this to view the manual pages for commands e.g :-
- man mv
- man nano
- man htop
On a similar note there are also info pages, which are another source of information.
If we want to find programs we can use the which command which outputs the path to a particular program.
Command : which htop Output : /use/bin/htop
Finding files
find -name junk.txt will find and display the path to the junk.txt file
As a normal user you can also search for files such as fstab, however as this is owned by root you will get permission errors.
Find text within files
grep (GNU Regular Expression Parser)
grep nano junk.txt so here we have command string to search for file to look in
we can direct the output of this with
grep nano junk.txt > grep.txt
will search junk.txt for the string nano, the direct the output to the file grep.txt
