Full Discussion: Find files in directory and its subdirectory
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Find files in directory and its subdirectory Post 302161169 by m9dhatter on Wednesday 23rd of January 2008 09:02:36 PM

Code:
find <dir> -name <shell-regex-pattern> -exec <command> {} \;
find some/dir -name "*.jpg" -exec ls -l {} \;

each result of the find would end up in "{}". so "ls -l" would be executed for each.
is this what you want?

wzd-config

WZD-CONFIG(1)						    wzdftpd Client Applications 					     WZD-CONFIG(1)

NAME

       wzd-config - retrieve information about the installed version of wzdftpd

SYNOPSIS

       wzd-config { --prefix | --exec-prefix | --data-dir | --libs | --cflags | --version }...

DESCRIPTION

       The  wzd-config	utility  prints configuration parameters of the currently installed version of wzdftpd. It is intended, for example, to be
       used by software packages that want to interface to wzdftpd to facilitate finding the required header files and libraries.

OPTIONS

       To use wzd-config, supply one or more of the following options:

       --prefix
	      Print the installation prefix, as specified in configure script.

       --exec-prefix
	      Print the installation prefix for executables, usually the same as prefix.  This is where you will find  server  ($eprefix/sbin)	or
	      tools ($eprefix/bin).

       --data-dir
	      Print installation dir for data, modules and backends.

       --libs Print the location of object code libraries (use to develop new extensions).

       --cflags
	      Print the location of include headers (use to develop new extensions).

       --version
	      Print the version of wzdftpd and exit.

       If more than one option (except for --version) is given, the information is printed in that order, one item per line.

NOTES

       In  releases  prior to wzdftpd 0.4, before the wzd-config came to be, a method for finding the equivalent configuration information did not
       exist.

HISTORY

       The wzd-config utility first appeared in wzdftpd 0.4.
