**mfind** is a command-line utility for searching and listing currently only in MKV (Matroska Video) files in a specified directory or drive.
It provides a convenient way to quickly find and view information about MKV files, such as path, file type, size, inode, and date/time.
## Features
- Search for MKV files recursively in a specified directory or drive
- Print detailed information about each found MKV file
- Optional logging of MKV files to a log file with date and time
## Futured Upgrades:
- High availability encryption methods
- gpg, zip, gzip & bz2 Encryption Methods
- Text filter & extraction methods
- Media file analysis (EXIF)
## Usage
To search for MKV files in a specific directory:
```
mfind /path/to/directory
```
To search for MKV files in the default directory (home directory):
```
mfind -d
```
To enable logging of MKV files to a log file:
```
mfind -log logfile.txt /path/to/directory
```
