Recursive in Linux is a type of file system access pattern that involves repetition of tasks while going through a directory structure. It is usually enabled with the command “find” and allows users to quickly search a directory tree to find files and directories. Recursion is especially useful when looking for specific types of files, such as those with a certain extension.
