phfind

File search utility

Syntax:

phfind [options]

Runs on:

Neutrino

Options:

-c

Case-sensitive pattern match. The default is case-insensitive.

-npattern

The name or pattern to find.

-r

Don't recursively search subdirectories. The default is to recurse.

-R

Recursively search symbolic links. The default is not to recurse.

-S

Single-threaded operation. The default is multi-threaded. Setting this option saves a thread, but it may reduce responsiveness of phfind on a slow filesystem.

-t options

The types of files to look for. Combine one or more of:

• a — all (the default setting)
• b — block special
• c — character special
• d — directories
• f — regular files
• l — symbolic links
• n — named special
• p — FIFOs (pipes)
• s — sockets

-x position[%][r]

The x coordinate of the upper-left corner of the window, in pixels, or as a percentage of screen width if % is specified. If r is specified, the coordinate is relative to the current console.

-y position[%][r]

The y coordinate of the upper-left corner of the window, in pixels, or as a percentage of screen height if % is specified. If r is specified, the coordinate is relative to the current console.

Description:

This utility starts a graphical file search application. You must be running Photon in order to run phfind.

---

You can start phfind from the command line.

The main window looks like this:

Searching for files with phfind.

The application has three tabs, Name & Location, Types, and Sizes:

• The Name & Location tab lets you enter a file name, select the search path, and set basic search options.
• The Types tab lets you set a filter for the types of files phfind looks for. For a description of the types of files in a QNX filesystem, see “Working with files” in the Neutrino User Guide.
• The Sizes tab lets you set a filesize range for files found by phfind.
