Find a File By Owner In Linux

Question

I need to find a file belonging to a specific user. I have tried using -O "userName" but, it prints: The -O option must be immediately followed by a decimal integer. I tried it with small 'o' and still, it wouldn't work

Answer 1

For searches based on the file owner, you should use the -user option.

find /path/to/some/folder -user exampleuser

The -O option is used for search optimization and is followed by an integer (1 to 3 levels).
