Find files larger than a byte threshold.

Linux Commands: Use the c suffix for exact byte units with GNU find size tests.

Bash terminal
find files -type f -size +4c -printf '%f\n'

Expected output EXAMPLE

large.txt

Details

Run in Bash on GNU/Linux in a scratch directory. Tested with the GNU utilities supplied by Ubuntu. Use the c suffix for exact byte units with GNU find size tests.

✓ Verified

Tested on Ubuntu 24.04.5 LTS · · GNU bash, version 5.2.21(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) · bash 5.2.21-2ubuntu4; coreutils 9.4-3ubuntu6.3; findutils 4.9.0-5build1

Test inputs, results and environment

The exact published code ran in a dedicated Linux test container with prepared inputs. Unprivileged snippet process, external networking disabled, read-only root filesystem, and a fresh temporary working directory. Fixtures and output records are isolated from the application database. Testing covers this example and its stated checks, not every input, operating system, or runtime version. The Linux container shares its host's kernel; this is not a native Windows test.
