Usage

Case Insensitive Search

find . -iname ...

Control Descend Depth

The upper and lower limit of the descend depth can be controlled with -mindepth and -maxdepth, as follows:

find . -mindepth n

Configure find to apply tests and action at levels equal or deeper than n. -mindepth 1 processes all but the command line arguments.

find . -maxdepth n

Configure find to descend at most n directory levels below the command line arguments. -maxdepth 0 limits the whole search to the command line arguments.

Time Constraints

Find all files modified less that 2 days ago

find . -mtime -2
