File Finder

Introduction

File Finder is a personal project written in C designed to help locate files within a directory structure. The goal of this project is to provide a simple and efficient tool for file searching with readable c code. This is an ongoing personal project and contributions to improve it are always welcome.

Note: This project does not aim to compete or compare with tools like grep or ripgrep. It focuses solely on basic file finding capabilities.
