A breadth-first version of the UNIX find command.
apt-get install bfs

bfs is a command-line tool that improves upon the UNIX find command by using a breadth-first search approach, compatible across multiple operating systems.
It offers faster file discovery, flexible argument placement, detailed error messages with typo detection, and options like -exclude to skip subtrees and -nohidden to bypass hidden files.
System administrators, developers and power users benefit from bfs when searching files and directories in the terminal as it improves upon and acts as a fine alternative to the traditional find command.
