Shell question
Hi,

I have this piece of code but I can not understand it in details and it is difficult to find in net. What is the function of the $, type, d and prefix here?

This script wants to get each file from their directory.

Thanks in advance.

Code:
for i in $(find  /file directory/ -type d | grep file name)
do 
prefix=`echo $i | cut -f5 -d"/"`
out=$prefix.out
echo $prefix
