Well, this hardly requires an expert, but . . .
First, if you want to know how to do something, try "man -k".
It is one of the most powerful concepts in Unix.
(The others are |, &, and /. [That is, pipes, fork, and
tree-structured directories.] Some of these are commonplace by now but
none were when I started using it 20 years ago.)
Here is what we see . . .
xfindproxy (1x) - locate proxy services
Tcl_FindExecutable, Tcl_GetNameOfExecutable (3) - identify or return the name of the
binary file containing the application
Tcl_InitHashTable, Tcl_DeleteHashTable, Tcl_CreateHashEntry, Tcl_DeleteHashEntry,
Tcl_FindHashEntry, Tcl_GetHashValue, Tcl_SetHashValue, Tcl_GetHashKey,
Tcl_FirstHashEntry, Tcl_NextHashEntry, Tcl_HashStats (3) - procedures to manage hash
tables
Tk_CoordsToWindow (3) - Find window containing a point
Tk_FindPhoto, Tk_PhotoPutBlock, Tk_PhotoPutZoomedBlock, Tk_PhotoGetImage,
Tk_PhotoBlank, Tk_PhotoExpand, Tk_PhotoGetSize, Tk_PhotoSetSize (3) - manipulate the
image data stored in a photo image.
Tk_IdToWindow (3) - Find Tk's window information for an X window
Tk_MainWindow (3) - find the main window for an application
diff (1) - find differences between two files
diff3 (1) - find differences between three files
ffs (3) - find first bit set in a word
find (1) - search for files in a directory hierarchy
glob, globfree (3) - find pathnames matching a pattern, free memory from glob()
ispell, buildhash, munchlist, findaffix, tryaffix, icombine, ijoin (1) - Interactive
spelling checking
lfind, lsearch (3) - linear search of an array.
nwsfind (1) - Find a NetWare Server
pcibios_find_class, pcibios_find_device (9) - find a PCI class or device
perlmodlib (1) - constructing new Perl modules and finding existing ones
pidof -- find the process ID of a running program.
recursdir (1) - recurse through local or remote directories to command/find
files or create tar files.
runlevel -- find the current and previous system runlevel.
sdiff (1) - find differences between two files and merge interactively
tsearch, tfind, tdelete, twalk (3) - manage a binary tree
Well, "search for files in a directory hierarchy" sounds like what we
want. So do "man find" and discover that
find /the/mount/point/of/the/disk -name '*the_partial_file_name*'
is what you are looking for.
