List empty directories using find in bash
Linux command find gives an option called "empty" using which we can list empty regular files or empty directories.
e.g.
To list all the empty directories
$ find . -type d -empty
Output:
./bdb/prac
./sim/old/data
./prac/testdir

The problem with lots of us is that, we never even read the --help page for a command.
I never knew there was -empty for find, lol ;)
