NAME
TkFind - a GUI front-end for the UNIX find command
SYNOPSIS
~hnv/pub/tcl/tkfind [ -bgc color ] [ -fgc color ] [ -abgc color ] [ -selc color ] [ -menuc color ] [ -green ] [ -purple ] [ -gray ]
DESCRIPTION
TkFind provides an graphical interface to the Unix find command, and allows you to locate files based on their name, type, size, date, and owner. Tkfind will give you a list of filenames, in long or short format, sorted by name, size, or date. You can then apply commands to the results like grep, gzip, gunzip, compress, uncompress, cpio, and tar. The cpio and tar commands are particularly noteworthy since they have their own execution window. This window allows these operations (along with the find) to be saved as a script. You can run the script immediately, at a specific time, or even submit it to NQS on the T90 as a batch job. Also on the T90, TkFind creates scripts that know how to deal with files in the archive filesystem using the dmget and dmput commands. See the on-line help menus in TkFind for a more information. In order to start the program just enter the following: ~hnv/pub/tcl/tkfind There are versions for the SGIs and the T90, but not the Suns. The files are accessible from the same locations on each system.
OPTIONS
The only command-line options to TkFind are for changing its window colors. By default, TkFind tries to find out what kind of system it is running on and then uses a particular set of colors. It uses a green scheme for the Indigo2, a purple scheme for the Indigo and Personal Iris, and a gray scheme for every other system (such as the T90). Colors are specified by either a name (refer to /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt for a complete list) or a hexadecimal string of the form #rrggbb where rr is the red component, gg is the green, and bb is the blue. -bgc color Sets the background color. -fgc color Sets the foreground color. -abgc color Sets the active background color. -selc color Sets the selected color. -menuc color Sets the menu highlight color. -green Uses the green color scheme. -purple Uses the purple color scheme. -gray Uses the gray color scheme.
