mate-search-tool: Search files without waiting a user confirmation.
$ mate-search-tool --start --named=${string} --path=${path-to-directory}
try on your machine

The command mate-search-tool is used to search for files and directories in a specified directory or path. Let's break down the different components of this command:

  • mate-search-tool: This is the actual command being executed. It is likely part of a tool or utility available on your system for searching files.

  • --start: This option tells the mate-search-tool to start the search. It indicates that you want to initiate a search operation.

  • --named=${string}: This option specifies the filename or pattern you are searching for. Replace ${string} with the name or pattern you want to search for. For example, if you want to search for files named "example.txt", you would replace ${string} with example.txt.

  • --path=${path-to-directory}: This option defines the directory or path where you want to search for the files. Replace ${path-to-directory} with the actual path to the directory you want to search in. For instance, if you want to search in the /home/user/documents directory, you would replace ${path-to-directory} with /home/user/documents.

By running this command with the appropriate values for --named and --path, you can search for files matching the specified criteria within the specified directory.
