1 The Findutils package contains programs to find files. These programs are
|
|
al@19561
|
2 provided to recursively search through a directory tree and to create,
|
|
al@19561
|
3 maintain, and search a database (often faster than the recursive find, but
|
|
al@19561
|
4 unreliable if the database has not been recently updated).
