The year is 2024, I put esoteric use of the find command on my resume, it’s 1989…
locate
enjoyers unite.What’s up with find? I’ve got so used to
fd
that I don’t understand what this is referring toWhen you want to find something in a different path than your current one you have to supply it as the first argument. When you try to do
find -name foo.bar /path
it will complain that the path should be the first argument. So it knows what you’re trying to do and instead of doing it it just complaints.
I don’t mind the order of path, arguments and options, but what the hell is the deal with long arguments with a single dash? i.e.
-name
instead of—-name
