Advanced searching 


## directories or files

$ find ./my-documents/ -type d -user Rocky ## directories
$ find ./my-documents/ -type f -user Rocky ## files

## Permissions

$ find ./my-documents/ -perm 755 ##  All files/directories inside subdirectory with permission 755

## Using Not
$ find ./my-documents/ -not -user Rocky ## All files/directories inside subdirectory not owned by Rocky

## Finding based on file extension
