rawhide - (rh) find files using pretty C expressions
INTRODUCTION
Rawhide (rh) lets you search for files on the command line using expressions and user-defined functions in a mini-language inspired by C. It's like find(1), but more fun to use. Search criteria can be very readable and self-explanatory and/or very concise and typeable, and you can create your own lexicon of search terms. The output can include lots of detail, like ls(1).
DESCRIPTION
Rawhide (rh) searches the filesystem, starting at each given path, for files that make the given search criteria expression true. If no search paths are given, the current working directory is searched.
The search criteria expression can come from the command line (with the -e option), from a file (with the -f option), or from standard input (stdin) (with -f-). If there is no explicit -e option expression, rh looks for an implicit expression among any remaining command line arguments. If no expression is specified, the default search criteria is the expression 1, which matches all filesystem entries.
An rh expression is a C-like expression that can call user-defined functions. These expressions can contain all of C's conditional, logical, relational, equality, arithmetic, and bit operators.
Numeric constants can be decimal, octal, or hexadecimal integers. Decimal constants can have scale units (e.g., 10K).
There are built-in symbols that represent each candidate file's inode metadata. These are the fields in the corresponding stat(2) structure (e.g., st_mode, st_uid, st_size, st_mtime, ...). See stat(2) for details. For convenience, the "st_" prefix is omitted from the symbol names (e.g., st_mtime is used as mtime).
Other built-in symbols represent the constants defined by C's <sys/stat.h> header file. These are useful for interpreting the mode in order to identify file types and permissions. The "S_" prefix is omitted from the symbol names (e.g., S_IFMT is used as IFMT).
Other built-in symbols represent various useful values and constants, control flow, more file information, and candidate symlink target inode metadata.
File glob patterns and Perl-compatible regular expressions (regexes) can be used to match files by their name, path, symlink target path, access control list, and extended attributes.
Search criteria can also include comparisons with the inode metadata of arbitrary reference files, and the exit success status of arbitrary shell commands.
Functions are a means of referring to an expression by name. They allow complex expressions to be composed of simpler ones. They also allow you to create your own lexicon of search terms for finding files.
There is a default "standard" library of functions to start with. It provides a high-level interface to the built-in symbols mentioned above, and makes rh easy to use. See rawhide.conf(5) for details.

EXAMPLES
The following are examples of rh expressions. Where multiple versions are given, the first one only uses built-in symbols, and the rest usually make use of the "standard" library in /etc/rawhide.conf (or similar) as well. See rawhide.conf(5) for details.
Find files that are owned by the user drew, and are writable by other people:
(uid == $drew) && (mode & 022) # uid and mode are built-in
(uid == $drew) && (gw | ow) # gw and ow are in /etc/rawhide.conf
Find files that are owned by root, have the setuid bit set, and are world-writable:
!uid && (mode & ISUID) && (mode & 02) # uid, mode, ISUID: built-in
roots && setuid && other_writable # the rest: /etc/rawhide.conf
roots && setuid && world_writable
roots && suid && ow
roots && suid && ww
Find executable files that are larger than 10KiB, and have not been executed in the last 24 hours:
(mode & 0111) && (size > 10 * 1024) && (atime < now - 24 * hour)
any(0111) && (size > 10 * KiB) && accessed < ago(24 * hours)
anyx && sz > 10K && atime < ago(day)
Find C source files that are smaller than 4KiB, and other files that are smaller than 32KiB:
size < ("*.c" ? 4K : 32K) # size: built-in
size < ("*.c" ? 4 : 32) * KiB # KiB: /etc/rawhide.conf
Find files that are an exact multiple of 1KiB in size:
(size % 1024) == 0
!(sz % 1K)
Find files that were last modified during March, 1982:
mtime >= [1982/3/1] && mtime < [1982/4/1]
modified >= [1982/3/1] && modified < [1982/4/1]
Find files that have been read since they were last written:
atime > mtime
accessed > modified
Find files whose names are between 4 and 10 bytes in length:
strlen >= 4 && strlen <= 10
len >= 4 && len <= 10
Find files that are at a relative depth of 3 or more below the starting search directory:
depth >= 3
This expression finds *.c files. However, it will not search in any directories named bin or tmp. If these file names are encountered, the prune built-in is evaluated, preventing the current path from matching, and preventing further searching below the current path.
("tmp" || "bin") ? prune : "*.c"
("tmp" || "bin") && prune || "*.c"
Find files that were modified after another file was last modified:
mtime > "/otherfile".mtime
modified > "/otherfile".modified
Find files that are larger than one file and smaller than another file:
size > "/somefile".size && size < "/otherfile".size
sz > "/somefile".sz && sz < "/otherfile".sz
Find files with holes (for filesystems without transparent compression):
(mode & IFMT) == IFREG && size && blocks && (blocks * 512) < size
file && size && blocks && space < size
Find regular files with multiple hard links:
(mode & IFMT) == IFREG && nlink > 1
file && nlinks > 1
f && nlink > 1
Find all hard links to a particular file:
(dev == "/path".dev) && (ino == "/path".ino)
(dev == "/path".dev) && (ino == "".ino) # Implicit 2nd reference
Find devices with the same device driver as /dev/tty:
rmajor == "/dev/tty".rmajor
Find symlinks whose target paths are relative:
"[!/]*".link
Find symlinks whose ultimate targets are on a different filesystem:
(mode & IFMT) == IFLNK && texists && tdev != dev
symlink && target_exists && target_dev != dev
l && texists && tdev != dev
texists && tdev != dev
Find symlinks whose ultimate targets don't exist:
(mode & IFMT) == IFLNK && !texists
symlink && !target_exists
link && !texists
l && !texists
dangling
broken
Find mountpoints under the current directory:
$ rh -1 'dev != ".".dev'
Find directories with no sub-directories (fast, for most filesystems, but not btrfs):
$ rh 'd && nlink == 2'
The same, but works for btrfs (slow-ish, but demonstrates shell commands):
$ rh 'd && "[ `rh -red %S | wc -l` = 0 ]".sh'
$ rh 'd && "[ -z \"`rh -red %S`\" ]".sh'
Find empty (readable) directories (fast-ish, and works for btrfs):
$ rh 'd && empty'
Find symlinks whose immediate targets are also symlinks:
$ rh -l 'l && "[ -L \"`rh -L%%l %S`\" ]".sh'
$ rh -l 'l && "[ -L \"`readlink %S`\" ]".sh'
Find all hard links to all regular files that have multiple hard links (very slow):
# rh -e 'f && nlink > 1' \
-X 'rh / "(dev == \"%S\".dev) && (ino == \"\".ino)"; echo' \
/
The same, but for a single filesystem only (shorter, less slow, but still very slow):
# rh -1 -e 'f && nlink > 1' -X 'rh -1 / "ino == \"%S\".ino"; echo' /
Find files using a Perl-compatible regular expression (regex):
$ rh '"^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+[0-9][0-9][0-9]?\..*[a-cz]$".re'
$ rh '"^\w+\d{2,3}\..*[a-cz]$".re'
See perlre(1), pcre2pattern(3), and pcre2syntax(3) for details.
The same, but with documentation:
$ rh '"
^ # Anchor the match to the start of the base name
\w+ # Starts with at least one word character
\d{2,3} # Followed by two or three digits
\. # Followed by a literal dot
.* # Followed by anything (or nothing)
[ a-c z ] # Ends with a, b, c, or z
$ # Anchor the match to the end of the base name
".re'
Case-insensitive search (anything with abc in the name):
$ rh '"*ABC*".i' # Case-insensitive glob of base name
$ rh '"ABC".rei' # Case-insensitive regex of base name
Find files by their full path starting from the search directory (anything under an abc directory):
$ rh '"*/abc/*".path' # Glob of full path
$ rh '"/abc/".repath' # Regex of full path
$ rh '"*/ABC/*".ipath' # Case-insensitive glob of full path
$ rh '"/ABC/".reipath' # Case-insensitive regex of full path
Find symlinks by their target path (symlinks to anything under an abc directory):
$ rh -l '"*/abc/*".link' # Glob of symlink target path
$ rh -l '"/abc/".relink' # Regex of symlink target path
$ rh -l '"*/ABC/*".ilink' # Case-insensitive glob of symlink target
$ rh -l '"/ABC/".reilink' # Case-insensitive regex of symlink target
Find files with "POSIX" ACLs (Linux and Cygwin) that grant write access to the user drew:
$ rh '(uid == $drew) ? "*user::?w?*".acl : "*user:drew:?w?*".acl'
$ rh '(uid == $drew) ? "^user::.w.$".reacl : "^user:drew:.w.$".reacl'
Find files with NFSv4 ACLs (FreeBSD and Solaris) that grant write access to the user drew:
$ rh '(uid == $drew)
? "*owner@:?w????????????:???????:allow*".acl
: "*user:drew:?w????????????:???????:allow*".acl
'
$ rh '(uid == $drew)
? "owner@:.w.{12}:.{7}:allow".reacl
: "user:drew:.w.{12}:.{7}:allow".reacl
'
$ rh '(uid == $drew)
? "owner@:[^:]+/write_data/[^:]+(:[^:]*)?:allow".reacl
: "user:drew:[^:]+/write_data/[^:]+(:[^:]*)?:allow".reacl
'
Note that, with NFSv4 ACLs, you can search for ACLs using either the compact form, or the non-compact form. But be warned that the permission names in the non-compact form do not always appear in the same order (at least on Solaris).
Find files on macOS with ACLs that grant write access to the user drew:
$ rh '(uid == $drew) ? uw : "user:[^:]+:drew:\d+:allow:write".reacl'
Find files with non-trivial access control lists (ACL):
$ rh '"*mask::*".acl' # "POSIX" ACLs (Linux, Cygwin)
$ rh '"(user|group):".reacl' # NFSv4 ACLs (FreeBSD, Solaris)
$ rh '"?*".acl' # macOS ACLs
Find files with extended attributes (EA):
$ rh '"?*".ea'
$ rh '".".reea'
Find files on Linux by their selinux(8) context (any):
$ rh '"*security.selinux: *_u:*_r:*_t:s[0-3]*".ea'
$ rh '"^security\.selinux:\ .*_u:.*_r:.*_t:s[0-3]".reea'
Find files on Solaris with setuid executable extended attributes (silly):
$ rh / '"*/stat: -rws*".ea'
$ rh / '"/stat:\ -rws".reea'
DOCUMENTATION

DOWNLOAD
Rawhide's source distribution can be downloaded from these locations:
This is free software released under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence version 3 or later (GPLv3+).
INSTALL
To install rawhide:
tar xzf rawhide-3.0.tar.gz
cd rawhide-3.0
./configure
make
make test # optional (lots of output, or set quiet=1)
sudo make install
This will install (approximately, depending on the operating system):
/etc/rawhide.conf
/etc/rawhide.conf.d/
/usr/local/bin/rh
/usr/local/share/man/man1/rh.1
/usr/local/share/man/man5/rawhide.conf.5
To uninstall rawhide:
sudo make uninstall
To install/uninstall under /usr instead of /usr/local:
sudo make PREFIX=/usr install
sudo make PREFIX=/usr uninstall
To check out the configure script which can override paths and features:
./configure --help
To see what other things the Makefile can do:
make help
REQUIREMENTS
Rawhide should compile and work on any recent POSIX system (post-2008) with a C compiler and make. It has been thoroughly tested on Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, macOS, Solaris, and Cygwin.
The configure script only knows about these systems as far as installation locations are concerned, and whether or not manual entries should be gzipped. For other systems, you can accept the defaults, or adjust the configure script or the Makefile for your needs.
The (non-POSIX) major() and minor() macros are expected to be in <sys/types.h>, <sys/sysmacros.h>, or <sys/mkdev.h>. If they are anywhere else, changes will be needed.
While optional, it is very highly recommended that libpcre2-8 be installed. It adds so much more fun. On macOS, libpcre2-8 can be installed via macports or homebrew.
On Linux, installing libacl is also recommended, if it's not already installed. And pkg-config is needed (to find and use libacl).
To build and install from the git repository, pod2man (which comes with perl) is needed to produce the manual entries. The source distribution includes the installable manual entries (so pod2man isn't needed to build and install from the distribution).
Rawhide only works completely in locales that use UTF-8. It mostly works in locales that use an ASCII-compatible single-byte character encoding such as ISO-8859-* (except for JSON output). But other multi-byte character encodings are not supported.
