FILE SEARCH QUERY
This window contains the following fields.
Find Filenames like
Use this field to specify file names to use in the search pattern.
The file names can contain the standard UNIX wild card matching
characters `*', `?' and `[ ]'. This field will accept more than one
entry. Leave a blank space between each unique filename for multiple
entries.
Skip Filenames like
This is the opposite of Find Filenames like. The filenames entered
here create an exclusion list. Any filename entered here will NOT be
matched by the search. This field uses the same format as the
previous field.
File Size between ... and
Every file residing on the system requires space. This space is
referred to as the file size. Any input for these fields specifies
the minimum and/or maximum file size a file can have as part of the
search routine. If a file is smaller than the amount entered in the
first field, the search routine will exclude it. Conversely, if the
file is larger than the amount entered in the second field, the
search routine will also exclude it. You can also use these two
fields together to specify a range of file sizes in your search.
To change the default size, enter the data in the format N unit,
where N is the numeric size to search for and unit is one of the
following units of measure:
+ KB = Kilobytes
+ MB = Megabytes
+ GB = Gigabytes
You can either add the unit directly in the field or just add the
numeric size and click on the Bytes button to select the unit.
# of Links between ... and
Files on a UNIX system can have more than one name (every file is
considered to have one link to its original name). If they do have
more than one name they are referred to as linked files. In many
cases a file may have more than one link.
Any input for these fields specifies the minimum and/or maximum
links a file can have as part of the search routine. If a the number
of links for a file is smaller than the amount entered in the first
field, the search routine will exclude it. Conversely, if the number
of links is greater than the amount entered in the second field, the
search routine will also exclude it. You can also use these two
fields together to narrow the search to a specific link count range.
Older than
When a file is created, its creation date is stored by the file
system in what is called an inode. Every time the file is modified
the date of the modification is updated in the inode. Specifying an
entry in this field will limit the search to any files created after
the date entered. You can use one of two formats for the date. See
"TIME FORMATS" on page C-1 for more details.
Newer
Specifying a date in this field (which has the same format as the
previous field) will limit the search to any files created before
the date entered. You can also use the Older than and Newer fields
together to specify a range of creation times in your search.
Owner Names
Every file on the system has an owner. In most cases the owner is
the user who created the file. Use this field to find only those
files whose owners match the names of the users entered. Click on
the arrow button and a pop-up menu will appear listing all Owner
names. Highlight the Owner names you wish to search on, then click
on the Apply button.
This field will accept more than one entry. Leave a blank space
between each unique owner for multiple entries.To exclude any files
owned by certain users, place a `!' before those usernames.
Group Names
Every file on the system belongs to a user group. Use this field to
find only those files whose group ownership matches the user group
names entered in this field. Click on the arrow button and a pop-up
menu will appear listing all Group Names. Highlight the Group Names
you wish to search for, then click on the Apply button.
This field will accept more than one entry. Leave a blank space
between groups for multiple entries.To exclude any files owned by
certain groups, place a `!' before those group names.
File Types
Use this field to select specific file types for the search. To do
so, click in the box preceding the file description. You may select
more than one file type. The default is all file types are used:
Regular file Directory Symbolic Link
FIFO (pipe) Block Special Char Special
Set Userid Bit Set Groupid Bit Sticky bit
Socket

Execute Search

fields. Once you've entered your search criteria, click on the
Execute Search button. The File Systems Detail window will appear
with a list of the files which met the criteria. You may then
execute more commands such as edit, delete, and chown to manipulate
the displayed files' characteristics. See "View Files" on page 5-9
