®nd(1) ®nd(1)

aThe time the ®le was last accessed

cThe time the inode of the ®le was last modi®ed m The time the ®le was last modi®ed

	If the tv2 character is omitted, it defaults to m. Note that the -neweroption is
	equivalent to -newermm.
	Syntax examples;
	-newera ®le
	-newermc ®le
-inum n	True if the ®le serial number (inode number) is n. Note that ®le serial numbers
	are unique only within a given ®le system. Therefore, matching ®le serial
	numbers does not guarantee that the referenced ®les are the same unless you
	restrict the search to a single ®le system.
-linkedto path	True if the ®le is the same physical ®le as the ®le speci®ed by path (i.e., linked to
	path). This primary is similar to -inum, but correctly detects when a ®le is
	hard-linked to path, even when multiple ®le systems are searched.
-print	Causes the current path name to be printed. Always true.
-exec cmd	True if the executed cmd returns a zero value as exit status. The end of cmd
	must be punctuated by a semicolon (;) or a plus sign (+) (semicolon and plus are
	special to the shell and must be escaped). When a plus sign is used, cmd aggre-
	gates a set of pathnames and executes on the set. The reason for preferring + to
	a semicolon is vastly improved performance. Any command argument {} is
	replaced by the current path name. cmd may contain supplementary code set
	characters.
-ok cmd	Same as -execexcept that the generated command line is printed with a ques-
	tion mark ®rst, and is executed only if the user responds by typing y. The form
	of the af®rmative response is locale dependent: y in the C locale, see LANG on
	environ(5). cmd may contain supplementary code set characters.
-cpio device	Write the current ®le on device in cpio(4) format (5120-byte records). The use of
	-cpioimplies -depth. Always true.
-ncpio	Same as -cpiobut adds the -coption to cpio. The use of -ncpioimplies
	-depth. Always true.
-prune	If the current entry is a directory, cause find to skip that directory. This can
	be useful to avoid walking certain directories, or to avoid recursive loops when
	using cpio -p. Note, however, that -pruneis useless if the -depthoption
	has also been given. See the description of -onlyand the EXAMPLES section,
	below, for more information. Always true.
-only	This is a positive-logic version of -prune. A -pruneis performed after every
	directory, unless -onlyis successfully evaluated for that directory. As an
	example, the following three commands are equivalent:
	find . -fsonly hfs -print
	find . -print -fstype hfs -only
	find . -print ! -fstype hfs -prune
	Note, however, that -onlyis useless if the -depthoption has also been given.
	Always true.
( expression )	True if the parenthesized expression is true. The spaces are required.
	Parentheses are special to the shell and must be escaped, as in \( and \).

Primaries can be combined by using the following operators (in order of decreasing precedence):

! expression Logical NOT operator. True if expression is not true.

expression [-a]expression Logical AND operator. True if both of the expressions are true.

expression -oexpression Logical OR operator. True if either or both of the expressions are true.

If expression is omitted, or if none of -print, -ok, -exec, -cpio, or -ncpiois speci®ed, -printis assumed. The -user, -group, and -newerprimaries each evaluate their respective arguments once.
