GNU Info (find.info)TypeType ==== - 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'. automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
