search for files in a directory hierarchy

find [-H] [-L] [-P] [-D debugopts] [-Olevel] [path...] [expression]

-name pattern
       Base of file name (the path with the leading directories removed) matches shell  pattern  pattern.
       The  metacharacters  (`*',  `?',  and  `[]')  match a `.' at the start of the base name (this is a
       change in findutils-4.2.2; see section STANDARDS CONFORMANCE below).  To ignore  a  directory  and
       the  files  under  it,  use  -prune;  see  an example in the description of -path.  Braces are not
       recognised as being special, despite the fact that some shells including Bash imbue braces with  a
       special  meaning  in  shell  patterns.   The  filename  matching  is performed with the use of the
       fnmatch(3) library function.   Don't forget to enclose the pattern in quotes in order  to  protect
       it from expansion by the shell.

-type c
       File is of type c:

       b      block (buffered) special

       c      character (unbuffered) special

       d      directory

       p      named pipe (FIFO)

       f      regular file

       l      symbolic link; this is never true if the -L option or the  -follow  option  is  in  effect,
              unless the symbolic link is broken.  If you want to search for symbolic links when -L is in
              effect, use -xtype.

       s      socket

       D      door (Solaris)

-print True;  print the full file name on the standard output, followed by a newline.   If you are piping
       the output of find into another program and there is the faintest possibility that the files which
       you  are  searching  for  might  contain  a  newline, then you should seriously consider using the
       -print0 option instead of -print.  See the UNUSUAL FILENAMES section  for  information  about  how
       unusual characters in filenames are handled.
