What is find?

The `find` command is a command-line utility used for searching for files and directories based on specified criteria. It's a fundamental tool in Unix-like operating systems (Linux, macOS, etc.) for locating files by name, type, size, modification date, permissions, and other attributes. The basic usage involves specifying a starting directory and search criteria, and `find` will recursively search the directory tree for matching files, which can then be processed using other utilities or actions.
