Add doc for find(1)
2013-12-11 10:23:59 +00:00
Formatted all pages according to guidelines.

- Find files by extension:

find: quotes outside tokens; generic extension (#1160) The generic extension is to conform to our contribution guidelines: https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#token-syntax

find: add searching multiple patterns simultaneously (#2589)
2018-11-15 21:33:41 +00:00
- Find files by matching multiple patterns:
`find {{root_path}} -name '{{*pattern_1*}}' -or -name '{{*pattern_2*}}'`
find: various improvements (#3124) * find: various improvements The information content of the page should be unchanged, but hopefully it's now easier to read (and respects our length recommendations of 8 maximum examples). The changes include: - Make the `-mtime` example more intuitive, so it only needs to be shown once, and combine the `-delete` option with the first (now only) `-mtime` example (thus reducing the page size back to 8 examples) - Fix a comma splice in the `-exec` example, and a missing "a" in the `-path` example - Reorder the examples to provide a more consistent and intuitive sequence (e.g. by introducing `-iname` in an earlier example, and moving the `-exec` command down) * clarify -size example description

- Find directories matching a given name, in case-insensitive mode:
find: reoder example
2018-08-26 05:49:15 +01:00
find: always enclose the pattern in quotes (#3983) As mentioned in man page, should always enclose the pattern in quotes in order to protect it from expansion by the shell.
