Find Files by Size given in Bytes

20. August 2023 in Administration, GNU/Linux, Programmierung.

Some examples:

Find files in current directory that have a size of 400 bytes or more:

sfind -min 400

Find files in /etc that have a size of 50 kilobytes (1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes) or more:

sfind -dir /etc -min 50k

Find files in /var with size between 100 and 500 megabytes, suppress warnings, print sizes in human-readable format:

sfind -dir /var -min 100m -max 500m -quiet -human

Note: Yes, i know, Oracle distributes a tool that is also called „sfind“, but anyway …

Project information not readable. 
git clone https://tk-sls.de/gitlab/tilman/sfind.git
