# Whereis the Program
|
|
|
|
Ask where the `angband` program is, along with all its configuration files:
|
|
|
|
`whereis angband`
|
|
|
|
Also `which` shows where a binary file (the program) is,
|
|
|
|
> which cmus
|
|
|
|
`type` shows what kind of thing you're running, be it an alias, or binary program.
|
|
|
|
> type cmus
|

# Quick Search for Files
|
|
|
|
You'll need to set up `locate` for this by installing `mlocate`. `mlocate` needs a list of all files on the machine, so run:
|
|
|
|
> sudo updatedb
|
|
|
|
Then to find a file called 'my-cats.jpg', run:
|
|
|
|
> locate cats
|
