al@19561 | 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). |
al@19561 | 5 |
al@19561 | 6 The package contains: |
al@19561 | 7 |
al@19561 | 8 * `find` - Searches given directory trees for files matching the specified |
al@19561 | 9 criteria |
al@19561 | 10 * `locate` - Searches through a database of file names and reports the names |
al@19561 | 11 that contain a given string or match a given pattern |
al@19561 | 12 * `updatedb` - Updates the locate database; it scans the entire file system |
al@19561 | 13 (including other file systems that are currently mounted, unless told not |
al@19561 | 14 to) and puts every file name it finds into the database |
al@19561 | 15 * `xargs` - Can be used to apply a given command to a list of files |
