Kavremover Command Line Switches

Find command is one of the best search tool in Unix/Linux.

This article describes the switches that available when you run the commands outside of Windows (in MS-DOS mode), and when you run the commands from an MS-DOS window. Syntax and switches in MS-DOS mode. The following command line includes the syntax and the switches that you can use with the xcopy and the xcopy32 commands in MS-DOS mode. Run Universal Silent Switch Finder and click the button on the File line and load the mbam-setup-1.75.0.1300.exe file. Once loaded, it’ll take a few seconds to analyze the setup file and then show the available silent command line switches. Is it possible to install AVRemovereeant64enu.exe (AV Remover for Endpoint Antivirus 6) silently? I tried calling the executable from the command line with a bunch of previous used switches but had no success. Command Line Switches Syntax switch::= -switchcharacters On the command line, a switch consists of a switch specifier, either a dash (-) or a forward slash (/), followed by the name of the switch. Switch names cannot be abbreviated. Some switches take an argument after the switch name.

In this case, -incognito is the command-line switch. You can test the rest of the commands in the command prompt. When you decide on the set of switches you want to use, you can add these to the Chrome shortcut. One of the next sections will explain this step. Useful Chrome Command Line Switches Explained.

There are a lot of options available with find command. This command is very useful in bash scripting also. We discussed one of the useful find command application to remove old emails from server.

You’ll get more details from here >> cronjob to delete old emails from server << Here I’m discussing some common switches of find command with detailed examples.

Like the name “find”, this command is using to search files under a directory hierarchy.

One simple example is shown below;

Here the second part, that means “/” has an important role in this command syntax. This is the path for searching the file which has the name linux. This command will return all files with name “linux” under the location “/“.

I, Numeric arguments

This is very helpful and should be useful in some advanced searches.
Please see the samples;

For example it can use with the switch size. Here is the example:

There are two files in the directory “find”:

Here we go, we can find the file/files larger than 50k using +n option.

That’s it man, go ahead with your own way 😉

II, Switches and usages

1. -name pattern > Find the matched name pattern.

1.1 -iname pattern > Like -name, but the match is case insensitive.

The above commands will help you to find the file/files if you know its name. I’m explaining this with some different examples.

Examples

2. -path pattern > It will list out the exact path if it is exist.

You can find the exact path by using this. If you don’t know the exact path to the file which you’re searching, then move with this intelligent switch.

3. -perm mode > File’s permission bits are exactly mode (octal or symbolic).

Find file/files with its permission. Here is the examples:

Example

Sample files:

Find file/files with permission 644

Here./ is the path for searching(current directory). This will find out the file with permission 664.

You can also use alphabetical options.

3.1 -readable >> Matches files which are readable.
3.2 -writable >> Matches files which are writable.
3.3 -executable >> Matches files which are executable.

Example

This will list all files with executable permission.

4. -gid & -uid

Find file/files with a specific user or group.

4.1 -gid n >> File’s numeric group ID is n.
4.2 -group gname >> File belongs to group gname (numeric group ID allowed).
4.3 uid n >> File’s numeric user ID is n.
4.4 -user name >> File belongs to user name (numeric user ID allowed).

Examples

Switches

Similarly we can use -uid & -user.

5. -empty : this will find all files having empty content.

Example

6. -size n[cwbkMG] > File uses n units of space. The following suffixes can be used:

This is such a wonderful switch in practice. We already discussed an example above.

7. -type > Specify the file type.

To find different file types. In Linux there are 7 types of files. That are listed below:

Example

The file type “f” representing normal files. See the above example.

8. Switches related to modification time

This is an advanced option with find command. It will help you to list file/files with its modification time.

Example

# find ./ -mmin +1
./test1235.txt
./test1234.txt

As an example you can refer one of its application level example. In this example we need to remove old emails from the server. Here we can use the “-mtime” switch of find command. Refer this >> Cronjob to delete all emails older than one month <<

9. inode & links

Switches

9.1 -inum n >> File has inode number n.
9.2 -samefile name >> File refers to the same inode as name.
9.3 -links n >> File has n links.

Example

ls -i to find out the inode number.

All three files having single links.

10. -delete & -exec operations

10.1 -delete : This switch is use to remove a particular that already specified in the find command. Use this switch with extra care.
Example

In this case, -delete switch remove the file test123.txt. Similarly we can remove anything that found by find command.

10.2 -exec : This will execute commands on the find syntax.

Example

Run the command to change the permission.

This will remove all files in the current working directory.
