fLists or filters file system objects (eg files)
f lists or filters lists of file system objects, such as files, directories, etc. f provides a quick way to output file system items that confirm to specific criteria.
You define this criteria by using +flags (eg +s for all symlinks) and optionally then restricting that criteria with -flags (eg -x to remove all executable items). All flags supported as + are also supported as a -.
By default f will return no results. You need to include +flags.
Output is a JSON array as this format preserves whitespace in file names.
f: options -> <stdout>
<stdin> -> f: options -> <stdout>Return only directories:
f: +dReturn file and directories but exclude symlinks:

Then the - flags are used to filter out any matches from the + flags.
