find . -type l says missing argument
- by Sebi
I want to find all symbolic links in the current directory and below. Therefore, I used:
find . -type l
Running that clears the screen showing "Pattern not found (press RETURN)" at the bottom of the screen. After pressing return, I get:
find: missing argument to `-type'
Here some system details:
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64Bit
zsh 4.3.10 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)
happens also in Screen version 4.00.03jw4 (FAU) 2-May-06
find (GNU findutils) 4.4.2
So how do I search for symbolic links so that I can grep in their names?
