Reference:
Find file owned by user
The syntax is:
find directory-location -user {username} -name {file-name}
Where,
- directory-location : Locate files or directories in this directory location.
- -user { user-name } : Find the file belongs to user.
- -name {file-name} : File name or pattern.
In this example, locate or find all file belongs to a user called "vivek" in /var directory:
# find /var -user vivek
To find all *.pl (perl files) file belongs to a user called "vivek" in /var/www directory, enter:
# find /var/www -user vivek -name "*.pl"
The > operator redirects the output usually to a file but it can be to a device. You can also use >> to append.
If you don't specify a number then the standard output stream is assumed but you can also redirect errors
> file redirects stdout to file
1> file redirects stdout to file
2> file redirects stderr to file
&> file redirects stdout and stderr to file
/dev/null is the null device it takes any input you want and throws it away. It can be used to suppress any output.
solution:
find / -user flag00 2>dev/null
