About:
The findutils package consists of three programs. "find" is a program which searches a directory tree to find a file or group of files. It walks the directory tree and reports all occurrences of a file matching the user's specifications. "locate" scans one or more databases of filenames and displays any matches. "xargs" builds and executes command lines by gathering together arguments it reads on the standard input. Most often, these arguments are lists of file names generated by "find".
