I know that ls -o will show the chflag but how do I search through my
files
to see which are immutable or append only?

Also is there an easy command to search for device files?

Seems like 'find' should do this, but I can't find how.  But then,
my ISP is running 2.2.8, so those are the newest man pages I can see
at the moment.

You can search for special files with find and -type

    -type t
      True if the file is of the specified type.  Possible file
      types are as follows:

          b     block special
          c     character special
          d     directory
          f     regular file
          l     symbolic link
          p     FIFO
          s     socket

Ah!  I found the 4.0 man pages on the FreeBSD.org site.  You can
search on flags using the -flags option to find.  These should do:

    find / -flags  schg -print
    find / -flags -schg -print

If I read the man page correctly, the first will find files which
have schg as their only flag, which the second will find files
which include schg amoung their flags.

find(1), option "-flags"

find(1), option "-type"

I should read the man pages on "find". What a novel idea. Thanks for the
tip. I am
relatively new to the unix platform.
