Would you like to build your own game?

It's easy!

Go to the GameBuilder and get started!

Topics of this game:
  • Which command can be used to search for system files using a previously-made, indexed database of all system files?
  • Which command is used to update the indexed database used with the locate command?
  • Which command is used to recursively search for files starting from a specified directory?
  • Though slower, which of the following commands is more versatile?
  • If using wildcard metacharacters with the find command, how can you ensure it's interpreted by the find command?
  • Which command can be used to search for executable files by searching the PATH variable?
  • The ______ variable lists directories on a system where executable files are located. This allows executable files to be run without specifying the absolute or relative path to the file.
