- Note the dash in front of the permission string, without it, the meaning would be different. See e.g. the Linux man page for find , look for "( expr )" and "-perm mode".
- The "perm" option of find command accepts the same mode string like chmod. The following command finds all files with permission 644 and sgid bit set.
- Find all the SGID bit files whose permissions are set to 644. # find / -perm 2644.
- For example: find . -type f -perm 777 -exec chmod 755 {} \; This will search the current directory (and all subdirectories) for files that have 777 permissions.
- To use the find command in Linux to find files based on their permission, you can use the -perm option.
- You can audit permissions on your Linux system by using the find command with the -perm option. Plus four bonus permissions auditing methods.
- / -perm -u=s -type f 2>/dev/null. search for files in a directory hierarchy. find [-H] [-L] [-P] [-D debugopts] [-Olevel] [path...] [expression].
- find -perm -g=w. Note that you can use + instead of =. ... Similarly, you can locate these programs using find command with the -perm mode option.
- I wonder what \( -perm -4000 -o -perm -2000 \) does. I think it is permission levels but i have trouble finding the -perm command in any documentations.
