Has the internet told you Linux' "find" command is too scary to use? Well, they're wrong. Linux' "find" command - also found in lots of other *NIX systems - is a critical tool to learn. > > In today's Lil' Linux Lesson, I'll be demystifying the "find" command, and covering how it works with the "-exec" option, which I promise will make your life easier as a sysadmin, Linux user, or just any nerd who likes to play with the terminal. > > Lastly, this video wouldn't be possible without my monthly sustaining supporters on Patreon and Ko-Fi. Members get a bunch of cool perks- if my unsponsored videos help you, I appreciate your consideration! > > https://patreon.com/VeronicaExplains > https://ko-fi.com/VeronicaExplains > > 0:00 I say "greetings" and tell you why the find command is important > 1:24 Basic use of find, both GNU and BSD variants! > 2:46 Performing magic in the terminal with find -exec > 4:56 Some other parameters for find: -iname, -type, -user, -group, -perm, -size > 6:53 Why does find -exec end with a plus?
