Your question does not indicate what you searching for specifically, so it is difficult to answer the question, especially since there are many commands in Unix that may do finding or searching of things.

What receives operating systems and commands?
command language
Case sensitive operating system?
Operating systems can be case sensitive in the way you give them command. Many OSs will not accept the commands if you change capitalization. It is more seen in command line OSs.
Ipconfig on a MAC?
The equivalent command for OS X and other Unix-like operating systems is ifconfig.
What is command interpreter?
A command interpreter is a program that converts the human written commands into the machine understandable language through the i/o devices. It is with the help of this interpreter we can actually communicate with the operating systems. A command interpreter is a separate program but can be referred as a component of an operating system.
What is Command line and GUI operating System?
The term "command line interface' is not actually used to describe an operating system, but a type of shell around an operating system. A command line interface is an interface in which you enter commands, arguments and parameters as your primary method of running programs or doing work. Depending on the operating system, the CLI may be the primary method of interfacing with the operating system. Linux (And most Unix/Unix-like systems.) can be primarily CLI driven or GUI driven, since shells are treated as just another application in those systems.
What is a command-driven operating system?
Essentially, all computer operating systems (OS) are command driven. A command is digital "to do" list issued to the OS brain (kernel) that commands it to utilize the computer hardware and/or software to accomplish something. In today's operating systems, like Windows 7 or Snow Leopard, you can use your mouse or keyboard to kick off a command in the background. For instance, clicking on "New Folder" in Windows Explorer is a command to create a new folder. Most often though, when people refer to a "Command-Driven" OS, they mean something like DOS or Unix, where you must type in an actual keyword command into the interface. Each OS has a set of commands that it recognizes, like the command "del" is a command to "delete" in DOS. With the invention of visual user interfaces (sometimes referred to as GUIs) the need for entering OS specific text commands has become obsolete, now we mostly use application menus and mouse clicks.
What type of interface do most operating systems use today?
command- line
Where can you get a program that can execute basic batch commands without using notepad?
It is called Command Prompt and it comes with Windows operating systems NT through Vista. You can access the command prompt by clicking Start/Run... , typing CMD, and then press ENTER or click the OK button.
Are MS-DOS singular operating systems?
No, MS-DOS is a command line interface Operating System, it is still used by Windows Operating Systems to this date, but access to it by the user has been severely limited if not completely blocked, to protect the computer from severe user error at the command line level.
Why is Unix called a command interpreter?
Unix and Unix-like systems would be referred to as command interpreters because of the nature of their interface. These systems are interacted with via a shell (i.e. Bash), which is a 'command-line interface' where the user types in text commands and they are executed by the system. This is in contrast with modern operating systems where the primary method of interaction is via a 'graphical user interface' or GUI, where the system is represented with graphics (like windows, cursors, toolbars etc.). These modern OS's still include command-line interfaces, like Command Prompt in Windows and the Terminal in OSX.

How do you get the class file size in java?
You look at the file. A program such as Windows Explorer - or the equivalent in other operating systems - can tell you the size. Also, a command such as "dir" (in Windows), or "ls" (in Linux or Unix).
