Newbie ls command ?

[BuilderSpec]

Hi

How do you recursively list all files?

I want to find all the C files on my system.

I am unsing ls -lR *.c in the "/" directory but getting no results yet i know there are some. What am I doing wrong ?



Hope this helps!

Don't use ls, use find. Type

man find

to list out the man pages. Print it out. find is your friend. Start with the examples at the end of your man pages.
