HOW TO FIND A FILE OR DIRECTORY ON FREEBSD
ASSUMPTIONS:
- You have already installed FreeBSD. If not, then
click here:
How to Install FreeBSD
- You have configured the FreeBSD shell. If not, then
click here:
How to
Configure the FreeBSD Shell
- Your 'ports tree' is up to date. If you don't know,
then it probably isn't current. Update the ports tree by
issuing one of these commands:
Update
the Ports Tree Using CVSup
- Here is how to configure your computer so that
CVSup
is run on a regular basis
FIND A FILE OR A DIRECTORY:
- The
locate command is good
for finding files and directories.
Enter something similar to:
locate someprogram | more
- If that doesn't work, perhaps try the
whereis or find
commands:
whereis someprogram | more
find / -name "someprogram*"
- For variations on these commmands, you can type:
man locate
man whereis
man find
