Read the Man Page

December 7, 2008

For years I have been using the syntax:

$ find . -type f -exec rm {} ;

For some reason I took the time to read the man page for find today and guess what:

$ find . -type f -delete

Does the exact same thing and it is almost instant. Lesson learned, every now and again read the man page.
