Check the absolute path of the command:
which is used to find and display the absolute path of a given command, and the PATH parameter in the environment variable can also be found.
[root@localhost ~]# which bash
/usr/bin/bash
[root@localhost ~]# which ls
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
/usr/bin/ls
Find a specific file:
The whereis command is used to locate the path of the binary program, source code file, man page and other related files of the instruction. This command can only be used to search the program name
[root@localhost ~]# whereis --help
语法格式：[ whereis [选项] 文件名 ]
-b #只找二进制文件
-m #只找man文档
-s #只找源代码
Use the whereis -b command to find binary files, and help manuals.
[root@localhost ~]# whereis -b ifconfig
ifconfig: /usr/sbin/ifconfig
[root@localhost ~]# whereis -m ifconfig
ifconfig: /usr/share/man/man8/ifconfig.8.gz
Cache lookup files:
locate searches for a database /var/lib/mlocatedb, which contains all local file information. The Linux system automatically creates this database and automatically updates it once a day, so the latest changed files cannot be found using the locate command. In order to avoid this In this case, you can use the updatedb command to manually update the database before using locate. The updatedb command will update the file according to /etc/updatedb.conf.
[root@localhost ~]# yum install -y mlocate
[root@localhost ~]# locate --help
语法格式：[ locate [选项] 文件名 ]
-d 目录 #指定数据库所在的目录
-i #忽略大小写差异
-r #后面接正则表达式
Use the locate command to query a file.
[root@localhost ~]# updatedb
[root@localhost ~]# locate /etc/passwd
/etc/passwd
/etc/passwd-
Traverse the file to find:
The find command can be said to be the most important search command, and this command has many parameters.
[root@localhost ~]# find --help
语法格式：[ find [目录] [属性] 文件名 ]
-name #按文件名查找
-size #根据大小查找
-user #根据属主查找
-perm #根据权限查找
-type #根据类型查找
-time #按时间查找
-inum #根据i节点查询
-exec #查找后执行命令
-name Find by filename:
Common query wildcards
\* #匹配任意一个或多个字符
？ #匹配任意一个字符
[] #指定范围,外侧加引号

} \;
{
} #表示find查询的结果集
\ #是转义符,不使用命令别名,直接使用命令本身
; #分号是表示语句的结束.
#注意：固定格式,只能这样写.注意中间的空格.
（公众号：网络工程师阿龙）-----------------------------------------------------------------
说明： 转义符的作用是什么？
在linux中有一个别名机制，如rm删除文件，执行的却是rm -i(用which rm 可以查看命令别名)，
使用rm删除文件前会提示，就是因为rm -i这个参数。如果想使用命令原意，可以在加\转义，
如：\rm test.txt 则不会提示，直接删除
