command-line utility for searching and listing currently only in MKV (Matroska Video) files in a specified directory or drive.\nIt provides a convenient way to quickly find and view information about MKV files, such as path, file type, size, inode, and date/time.\n\n## Features\n\n- Search for MKV files recursively in a specified directory or drive\n- Print detailed information about each found MKV file\n- Optional logging of MKV files to a log file with date and time\n\n## Futured Upgrades:\n- High availability encryption methods\n- gpg, zip, gzip \u0026 bz2 Encryption Methods\n- Text filter \u0026 extraction methods\n- Media file analysis (EXIF)\n\n## Usage\n\nTo search for MKV files in a specific directory:\n```\nmfind /path/to/directory\n```\n\nTo search for MKV files in the default directory (home directory):\n```\nmfind -d\n```\n\nTo enable logging of MKV files to a log file:\n```\nmfind -log logfile.txt /path/to/directory\n```\n\nInstallation\nTo compile and install the mfind utility, follow these steps.\nClone the repository or download the source code:\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/Brainhub24/mfind.git\n```\n\nNavigate to the mfind directory:\n```\ncd mfind\n```\n\nCompile the code using the provided Makefile:\n```\nmake\n```\n\nThis will generate the mfind executable.\n\n### Run the mfind utility with the desired command-line options.\n\n# Usage Examples\nTo search for MKV files in a specific directory:\n```\n./mfind /path/to/directory\n```\n\nTo search for MKV files in the default directory (home directory):\n```\n./mfind -d\n```\n\nTo enable logging of MKV files to a log file:\n```\n./mfind -log logfile.txt /path/to/directory\n```\n\n### Note: Make sure to replace /path/to/directory with the actual path to the directory you want to search.\n\n## Dependencies\n```\nC compiler (e.g., GCC)\nGNU Make\n```\nMake sure you have the necessary dependencies installed before compiling the code.\n\n## License\nThis project is licensed under
