7.8 Searching for Files or Contents
Bash oers you several commands to search for les and to search for the contents
of les:
locate
This utility is only available if you have installed the findutils-locate package.
With this command you can nd out in which directory a specied le is located.
If desired, use wild cards to specify lenames. The program is very quick, because
it uses a database specically created for the purpose (rather than searching
through the entire le system). This very fact, however, also results in a major
drawback: locate is unable to nd any les created after the latest update of its
database. The database can be generated by root running updatedb.
find
With find, search for a le in a given directory. The rst argument species the
directory in which to start the search. The option -name must be followed by a
search string, which may also include wild cards. Unlike locate, which uses a
database, find scans the actual directory.
grep
The grep command nds a specic search string in the specied text les. If the
search string is found, the command displays the line in which searchstring was
found, along with the lename. If desired, use wild cards to specify lenames.
7.8.1 Examples for Searching
The KDE and GNOME desktops store user-specic application data in hidden direc-
tories, for example .kde and .gnome.
1 To locate these directories on your computer, enter
locate .kde
