Hi all, Can I know if the following command is correct to list files that have size less than 20KB : $find . -size -20
The '-' sign for '-20', what does that mean? There is a difference when I change '-' to '+'. But I am not sure what is the difference. Thank you!!

Have a look at the man page for find. The '-' means less than. The '+' means greater than. The integer passed to the size flag is in 512 byte blocks. So find . -size -20 is really saying find all the files less than 10K.
-size n[c] True if the file is n blocks long (512 bytes per block). If n is followed by a c,the size is in bytes.
