Type
====
- Test: -type c
True if the file is of type C:
`b'
block (buffered) special
`c'
character (unbuffered) special
`d'
directory
`p'
named pipe (FIFO)
`f'
regular file
`l'
symbolic link
`s'
socket
`D'
door (Solaris)
- Test: -xtype c
The same as `-type' unless the file is a symbolic link. For
symbolic links: if `-follow' has not been given, true if the file
is a link to a file of type C; if `-follow' has been given, true
if C is `l'. In other words, for symbolic links, `-xtype' checks
the type of the file that `-type' does not check. Note:Symbolic
Links, for more information on `-follow'.
