find command not returning any result
I am looking for all the header files (*.h).. which as per documentation of the UNIX system shouldbe there.
I am using
find / -name *.h -print
But it does't give anything.
My question is under what condition the "find" condition will fail to find the file?
What is the work around.
How I can be 100% sure that the header files are really not present.
Pl reply.....

I created a file with the permissions of 776.
When I ran the command find /root/Desktop -perm -644 -type f

Doesn't -perm -mode mean that for global, only 4(read) and 2(write) can be accepted ? (2 Replies)

file::find::rule::procedural
File::Find::Rule::Procedural(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation File::Find::Rule::Procedural(3pm)
NAME
File::Find::Rule::Procedural - File::Find::Rule's procedural interface
SYNOPSIS
use File::Find::Rule;
# find all .pm files, procedurally
my @files = find(file => name => '*.pm', in => @INC);
DESCRIPTION
In addition to the regular object-oriented interface, File::Find::Rule provides two subroutines for you to use.
"find( @clauses )"
"rule( @clauses )"
"find" and "rule" can be used to invoke any methods available to the OO version. "rule" is a synonym for "find"
Passing more than one value to a clause is done with an anonymous array:
my $finder = find( name => [ '*.mp3', '*.ogg' ] );
"find" and "rule" both return a File::Find::Rule instance, unless one of the arguments is "in", in which case it returns a list of things
that match the rule.
my @files = find( name => [ '*.mp3', '*.ogg' ], in => $ENV{HOME} );
Please note that "in" will be the last clause evaluated, and so this code will search for mp3s regardless of size.
my @files = find( name => '*.mp3', in => $ENV{HOME}, size => '<2k' );
^
|
Clause processing stopped here ------/
It is also possible to invert a single rule by prefixing it with "!" like so:
# large files that aren't videos
my @files = find( file =>
'!name' => [ '*.avi', '*.mov' ],
size => '>20M',
in => $ENV{HOME} );
