How to search directories for files greater than a certain size

[okorkie]

Hello,

I just googling this, but I need a command (ls or otherwise), that I can search the entire directory tree, starting at / that will list all files greater than a certain file size.

Basically, looking through the entire directory structure, looking for any files greater than say, 500Meg in size.

Thanks in advance, Owen

man find

-size n[cwbkMG]
              File uses n units of space.  The following suffixes can be used:

              `b'    for 512-byte blocks (this is the default if no suffix is used)

              `c'    for bytes

              `w'    for two-byte words

              `k'    for Kilobytes (units of 1024 bytes)

              `M'    for Megabytes (units of 1048576 bytes)

              `G'    for Gigabytes (units of 1073741824 bytes)

              The  size  does not count indirect blocks, but it does count blocks in sparse files that are not actually
              allocated.  Bear in mind that the `%k' and `%b' format specifiers of -printf handle sparse files  differ‐
              ently.   The `b' suffix always denotes 512-byte blocks and never 1 Kilobyte blocks, which is different to
              the behaviour of -ls.

Thanks for the info.... this pointed me in the right direction.
