I'm working with the terminal and im trying to find ghostscript files in all the computer. How can I do that? I know that I must use the comand "find", but is there anything else I should type?

If you want results that include recently created files, try this:
find / -type f -name \*.gs
However, if you want an answer quickly, instead of find
try locate
, which uses a database of files that is updated every night or every week
locate *.gs

.gs is Google Apps Script or GemStone Document or Geosoft Script. I think it is .ps (postscript) that is used for ghostscript files (??)– RinzwindMar 20, 2013 at 21:39

GS can read .ps files, along with many other formats. In scripts that produce files and feed them directly to GS I've seen the .gs extension used to indicate a file made for GS, as opposed to a generic ps file.– SparrMar 20, 2013 at 21:41

Ok, thanks. My major problem was to know the extension for ghostscript files, but now I'll which of you guys helped me the most. ;) Thanks! Mar 20, 2013 at 21:41

@user142095 that's a much trickier question, actually. As mentioned in my other comment, GS can handle a lot of file formats.– SparrMar 20, 2013 at 21:42

Ghostscript files tend to have an extension .ps
. You can find files ending in .ps
with...
sudo find / -name *.ps -print
You will need sudo if you want to search the whole disc. If you want to put the result into a text file you can append > results.txt
after that command.
If you know more about the file name you can change the * to search for that.
Examples:
$sudo find / -name *.ps -print /usr/share/ghostscript/9.06/Resource/Init/gs_cidfm.ps /usr/share/ghostscript/9.06/Resource/Init/gs_cet.ps /usr/share/ghostscript/9.06/Resource/Init/gs_mro_e.ps /usr/share/ghostscript/9.06/Resource/Init/gs_cmap.ps /usr/share/ghostscript/9.06/Resource/Init/gs_std_e.ps /usr/share/ghostscript/9.06/Resource/Init/gs_agl.ps /usr/share/ghostscript/9.06/Resource/Init/gs_dps2.ps /usr/share/ghostscript/9.06/Resource/Init/gs_cidtt.ps /usr/share/ghostscript/9.06/Resource/Init/gs_dpnxt.ps /usr/share/ghostscript/9.06/Resource/Init/gs_diskn.ps
