[email protected]:~$ find inhere ! -executable -size 1033c -exec file {} \; inhere/maybehere07/.file2: ASCII text, with very long lines |
What I’m doing is checking that the file isn’t executable with ! -executable (! meaning not), checking that the size is 1033 bytes with -size 1033c (for whatever reason, b is 512-byte blocks and c is bytes), and then passing whatever results we get to file with -exec file {} \;.
Let’s look inside.

It’s padded with 1000 spaces (1033 – 32 [password] – 1 [newline]), just for funsies.
