16.3.65 search

Command: search [--file|--label|--fs-uuid] [--set [var]] [--no-floppy] name

Search devices by file (-f, --file), filesystem label (-l, --label), or filesystem UUID (-u, --fs-uuid).

If the --set option is used, the first device found is set as the value of environment variable var. The default variable is ‘root’.

The --no-floppy option prevents searching floppy devices, which can be slow.

The ‘search.file’, ‘search.fs_label’, and ‘search.fs_uuid’ commands are aliases for ‘search --file’, ‘search --label’, and ‘search --fs-uuid’ respectively.
