1 The Findutils package contains programs to find files. These programs are
2 provided to recursively search through a directory tree and to create,
3 maintain, and search a database (often faster than the recursive find, but
4 unreliable if the database has not been recently updated).
6 The package contains:
8 * `find` - Searches given directory trees for files matching the specified
9 criteria
10 * `locate` - Searches through a database of file names and reports the names
11 that contain a given string or match a given pattern
12 * `updatedb` - Updates the locate database; it scans the entire file system
13 (including other file systems that are currently mounted, unless told not
14 to) and puts every file name it finds into the database
15 * `xargs` - Can be used to apply a given command to a list of files
