Subject: [LI] FIND file

Under Linux tty interface, how to find a file like DOS command "dir/s" or 
"find"?

Thanks

Packaged answer : man find
But hey, I know thats too tuff to decipher at one go. esp if your vocab
doen't have the word "expression" with its comp-grammatical connotation  in
its kitty. For a simple solution.. try
$ find / -iname netscape*
$ find /home/user_name thatfile.c

but find is _far_ more powerful than that. Shaked well with grep.. it
really unveils monstrous power. 

Another useful command is which (man which)
$which netscape
$which make
