The GNU Find Utilities are the basic directory searching utilities of the GNU operating system. These programs are typically used in conjunction with other programs to provide modular and powerful directory search and file locating capabilities to other commands. The msys-findutils package provides 'find' -- search for files in a directory hierarchy, and 'xargs' -- build and execute command lines from standard input. The associated msys-locate package provides 'locate' -- list files in databases that match a pattern, and 'updatedb' -- update a file name database.

The msys-locate package is an optional adjunct to the standard MSYS Base System installation; it is NOT automatically installed as a component of msys-base, and must be selected independently, if desired.
