Get a recursive directory listing in Unix

If you want a recursive directory listing in Unix, one of the following may be useful:

`ls -R`	Not all versions of `ls` have `-R`
`find . -print`	Should work everywhere
`du -a .`	Shows you both the name and size

If you're looking for a wildcard pattern that will match all .c files in and below a certain directory, you won't find one, but you can use:

  some-command `find . -name '*.c' -print`

Replace some-command with the command you want to run.

Note:

This information comes from the Unix FAQ.
