Using the find command is there a way to combine options:



i.e.



find . -type fd -name "somefile"


Although -type ignores the second option; I'm looking to find only files or directories.

  • Note that f is for regular files, not files (other types are files as well).

You cannot combine characters after -type (unless you have a different find than I have). You have to do something like:



 find . ( -type f -o -type d ) -name "somefile"


On my system:



 $ find . -type fd -name "somefile"
 find: Arguments to -type should contain only one letter


That messages comes from the function insert_type() at line 2601 in
findutils-4.4.2 find/parser.c. It just takes the first character, older/other versions of find did IIRC not even warn if there were multiple characters after -type.

  • @NedSchneebly fd would be the combination of an argument to option -type not an option itself. It is just programmed that way find's option handling with single dashes but long option names is IMHO strange anyway. I'll update the question.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
