Linux - Finding files in linux

now into previous video we have seen how

we can use the grep command to find a

particular word into the globus Linux

operating system now if I want to find a

particular file for an example if I'm

using a particular service and I want to

check where the service files are

located and I don't know in the service

file name I can just give the command

and I can check what are the files which

are dependent on this particular service

or which the services are depending on

which particular files and where they

are located I can use find and special

commands let us check how you can use

file and filter commands and what are

the commands we generally use it so for

the commands we have very first called

as a variance now if suppose I want to

find a file and I know I want to see

where this file is located I can give

the command wellis so it will check the

file the binary files the source files

as well as the manual pages for this

first so wherever that particular file

name is located it will show me all the

entries of those particular files

wherever the services are running on

that name but the files are located on

that name as well as the binary files

which are used for that particular file

so basically I can say any services if

you want to check their dependent first

you can go for various command the next

is a find find is for particular file

name you can find where it is located

but when you are using the file name so

file name will be searching the complete

file into a particular location where

you are going to give define this file

command so we can say it is not a global

search but it is a search from Bury or

do you need to define the destination

where you want to search your file so

you can find a file by the name or by

the extension into that particular

destination now if I'm thinking about

the various parameters into various we

also have different parameters which we

can specify while defining the command -

B we can use both along with the

variants so that we can check for the

binary files we can use - M for only the

manual section or the manual pages of

those particular service or the file we

can use - s for looking at this source

of the file or source of the command

which we have run - you unusual entries

all those particular for

- capital B we can use to search wealthy

binary files are located and what are

the limited places where we generally

stole our minor refunds

then - capital M we can use for

searching searching for your manual

sections were generally you store your

manual files - s we can use for looking

out delimited sources where we can keep

our files so this are the parameters

which we use with the variants there are

again more parameters which we can check

by using the man commands again for fine

commands we also have some parameters

which is generally we can use while you

are creating or finding a particular

file in to a particular destination we

can use - one which is a by default if

you do not define any parameters it will

take by default - one which will be the

filter or we can say search for a file

with the files first name so if you have

a file with multiple name multiple words

like for example I give important data

that is a directory name so important

and data so first wireless the name is

important the second word is data so if

I don't define anything by Devon it will

check for the first name of a file then

- - parameter we can define which will

take the first name first and then the

file system type which kind of file

system do you have like for example I

want to search for all the documents or

all the documents which is having a

particular dohc extensions or all the

document which is having jpg extension

so we can define the extensions of the

file system of the file as / - 3 again

we can use which find the file

automatically and reorders and source

based on the resources or likelihood of

the success we can say it will check for

each and every resources origin of

resource as well generally we can get

this particular file so automatically it

will set the destination of your file

where you can find it then we have

maximum depth like what are the sub

directories you have for example I have

created a sub directories which is at

5th level of my parent rectory 1st 2nd

3rd 4th and so so v is my fifth level of

my sub

directory into all the paren directories

we can also set the limit because I know

either uma file is located into the

first three sub directories or not if it

is in the first two third sub

directories I can set a limit for those

paths so what it will do while finding

the file it won't go into the depth but

in spite of that it will find all those

particular directly only in the first

three sub directories that the limit we

can define for the sub directories then

we have I name it can also check with

the file name with a case-sensitive so

if I do not want to search my file

without a case-sensitive I can directly

go for - I I named because whenever the

fine command works and all we know the

Linux contains all these case sensitive

data so here if I want to exclude that

because I don't remember the file name

which I have created whether it is in

capital case or it is in small case I

can give - i name so the case sensitive

won't be happening over here then we

have - not so if suppose I have created

a file and the result of the file does

not match the text which I have added so

I can go for - not then - type F we can

search for a particular file so we can

go for type F then if I want to check

for the directories I can give type - D

for finding out the directories so these

are the parameters we generally have for

finding a particular file as well as to

check where this particular service or

files are located in two different

locations for using the appearance so

let us check how we can use this various

and twine command into our terminal so

we can use the find command to file a

directory or a file into the same

current directory with the name we can

define what you name you require or

which name of the file directory require

so for example I'm searching for fruits

whether do you have fruits over here so

it's showing you we have fruits located

over here right same way if suppose I

have created I create directory mkdir

data to data if I move when I quit

rectory called us

ABC and I'm out of it and I'm going to

give the command the same come on just I

want to define that I want to search for

ABC so it's showing me this contained in

data and then they busy now for example

I'm on the home directory and I want to

search in which directory I have located

my file or directory I do not know the

exact path we can search with find

command so I can check though ABC was

created in dokie data and found it over

here right same way if I want to check a

particular file which is completely

empty so I can check for for example I'm

going to create a touch file right now

touch

21 okay so I wanted to charge for your

test file which is completely empty so

find that and we need to define the type

of your file

and that is empty

you

that you show me the current type of

your father is empty

check for searching for the empty files

. - type of your fun

you

okay so we just need to define - empty

so it will show you all the files which

are by default empty right now so this

is default which is empty which doesn't

contain anything file - doesn't contain

anything which is again located here so

we can check for file - it doesn't

contain anything we can check for the

type of the file which is again and

doesn't contain anything so although

this particular thing we can check

further by using the find commands I can

check the kamar which I have used for

empty just a - I have missed so you can

check into the parameters like how we

can use it so I've used like the front

into the current directory they typed

off as your file and that should be

empty so this is how it shows you same

way we can also check for defaults which

we have modified 1j prayer right so we

can also check into the you notice

parent location and I want that this

particular file was created by the user

called as trainer itself and I want to

check for a minimum time of this

particular file that is one day so I can

check like this so it will show me all

the files which was created one day ago

there are a number of us we have

same way we can also export those

particular files into the minimum time

of the day the number of days we

generally have to find like seven days

ago so it will show me all the time you

know file which was created seven days

ago but we haven't installed the machine

seven days ago that's reason it's not

showing me anything so the last machine

which I have created that was yesterday

so I can also define the one day ago

itself so this a tiff file generally

which we have so this is how we can

generally find a file as party-type

okay just you need to define the time

and the user who has created if you want

you can otherwise it is optional again

same way if I want to find all the files

which is having an you know extension as

jpg so we do not have any file as such

but still if I I want to find it I can

also define it by using JP G

let's showing you there is no such file

or directory into the concert okay so

this is how generally we use to find

come on but your important is your

various command now for example I want

to get the documents for configuring a

particular service I want to check where

these services are located where these

services on which services they are

depended on so we can use it like for

example I want to check and these

services for who so I'll just use where

is who so it is showing me the who

command has the file located at us Orban

us our share man manual pages we have

that is for who and that is a diesel

file and again we have worthy share man

man won who won P dot G's at file these

are the location of your who come on

same way if I want to check for my cat

come on I can also check for my cat come

on

so where is God which was very helpful

for you for if you are going for any

particular services and you want to

check where their files are located so

generally like if I'm configuring a

particular you know server so basically

what happens your sample file of

configurable configuring those servers

that get located in to thee us our share

itself so you can get the complete path

from there and it can copy your sample

file and reconfigure your complete

service so this is how we generally

search by using your find command and

various commands so where does command

can locate your dependent files or the

file with the same name wherever it is

located and fine command is on

particular location you can find for so

this is what the differences generally

we have in both defined and where is

command which both are used for

filtering and you know getting the

finding defaults so this is what we have

seen into this video into next video I'm

coming up with more administration and

more commands into Linux operating

system so keep watching
