Recursively searches from current directory reporting the location and count of all files greater than the specified size. Add it to the .bashrc file for an easy find tool.
Example usage is
findlargest
findlargest 5M
findlargest 1G
defaults to 50Mb
function findlargest_inner {
eval "find . type f -size +${1:-50M} -exec ls -lh {} \;" \
2>&1 | \
grep -v "Permission denied" | \
awk '{ print $9 ": " $5 }' | \
grep -v -e '^:.*';
}
function findlargest {
findlargest_inner $@
echo "Number of files found with size>${1:-50M} is :"
findlargest_inner $@ | wc -l
}
