Question

Hello, I'm currently taking an introductory to Unix as a online course and I was given this question.

"How would you compare using the find command on a Linux server with your ability to find files on either a Windows or IOS operating system?"

Although this may seem like an opinion based question, my professor seems to grade really hard in my opinion. And with little knowledge of the find command I wanted to know how would someone else go by answering this question. THANKS!!!

Answer:

Find command is considered to be one of the most important commands on the Linux system. Find is important things in mac and windows system. But mac and windows are much of graphics related they do it in a graphical way but in Linux, you can use graphical way to use find command. But as we all know Linux is more of a command line language than the graphical language.

so in Linux also find is useful for the same like find the file, find photos, find text etc. It works almost same as the other operating system as. Here are some of the command that you can use the Linux system which is related to FIND.

find . -name testfile.txt

find /home -name '*.jpg

find . -type f -empty

find /home -user exampleuser -mtime 7 -iname ".db"
