    The find command allows you to search a specific file by its name. You can use the find command with -name option followed by the file name that you want to search.

    For example, to search a file named file1.txt in the /etc directory, run the following command:

    If you want to ignore the case during the file search, use the -i option as shown below:

    find /etc -type f -iname file1.txt

    You can use the following option if you want to search for a specific file type:

    f – regular file

    d – directory

    l – symbolic link

    c – character devices

    b – block devices
