Limit find depth
Snippet

Limit the depth of find for checking only some subdirectories instead of all of them by using -maxdepth.
You can also use -mindepth to sandwich directory levels.
# same as finding all files one level down, similar to "ls ./??*" find . -maxdepth 1 -type f # find all sub-subdirectories in the current directory find . -maxdepth 2 -mindepth 2 -type d
