In Unix, how do I get a recursive directory listing?
If you want a recursive directory listing in Unix, one of the following may be useful:
ls -R |
Not all versions of ls
have -R
|
find . -print |
Should work everywhere |
du -a . |
Shows you both the name and size |
If you're looking for a wildcard pattern that will match
all .c files in and below a certain directory, you won't
find one, but you can use:
some-command `find . -name '*.c' -print`
Replace some-command with the command you want to run.
Note: This information comes from the Unix
FAQ, which is posted regularly to the Usenet
newsgroups comp.unix.questions and
comp.unix.shell. You can obtain it by FTP from
rtfm.mit.edu in the /pub/usenet directory,
and on the web at:
