Finding and counting files
Try these ideas...

1. Count all instances of a specified file name in the file system:

ls -a | grep -c filename

The ls -a will list all files including the dot-files (the -a arg).
Piping to grep -c will count (the -c arg) the hits on filename in
the output of ls -a.

I don't know how to execute that recursively from the
root all the way throughout every directory in the system.


2. List all occurances of a file name:

ls -a | grep filename

zgrep

ZGREP(1)                                                      General Commands Manual                                                     ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep  options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
