The <code>'''find'''</code> program is a [[directory (file systems)|directory]] [[search utility]], mostly found on [[Unix-like]] platforms. It searches through one or more directory [[tree (computing)|tree(s)s]] of a [[filesystem]], locating [[Computer file|file]]s based on some user-specified criteria. By default, <code>find</code> returns all files below the current [[working directory]]. Further, <code>find</code> allows the user to specify an action to be taken on each matched file. Thus, it is an extremely powerful program for applying actions to many files. It also supports [[Regular expression|regex]] matching.
