Name

recent - show most recent files


Synopsys

recent [files]

recent [directory] [find options]


Description

Displays the plain files find(1L) finds with their ages, in order from newest to oldest. One of the shortest but most useful scripts (sans documentation) I have ever written.


Options

If you provide a single directory, I just call find and pass it your options (in addition to "-type f") so please consult its man page for its documented options.
