In emacs, the command M-x grep
runs grep
program.
Is there a command in emacs for running find
in findutils, or do similar thing?
Thanks.

find-dired
will run find
for you.
Also if you are specifically looking to combine find
with grep
, see rgrep
, lgrep
, and grep-find
.
There are many find
commands that you could use directly or configure to specifically use the external find
command from findutils
. Here are some (besides the ones already mentioned by others above) that you can explore via C-h f
documentation:
find-file
find-grep
find-library
find-function
find-variable
find-name-dired
find-dired
grep-find
helm-find
find-grep-dired
ido-find-file
