summary:

Utilities for finding files - find, xargs, locate, updatedb

description:

Findutils help you locate files on your system. Command find searches through a hierarchy of directories looking for files which match a certain set of criteria (filename patterns and many others). Command xargs builds and executes command lines from standard input arguments (often lists of file names generated by the find command). Command locate scans a database of filenames and displays matches. Command updatedb builds the database for locate.
