What is "forfiles"

FORFILES is a utility for Microsoft Windows operating systems, which selects files and runs a command on them. File selection criteria include name and last modified date. The command specifier supports some special syntax options. It can be used directly on the command-line, or in batch files or other scripts.

The FORFILES command was originally provided as an add-on, in the Windows NT Resource Kits. It became a standard utility with Windows Vista, as part of the new management features.
