NAME

6       oldfind - search for files in a directory hierarchy
7

SYNOPSIS

9       oldfind [-H] [-L] [-P] [-D debugopts] [-Olevel] [path...] [expression]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  oldfind  and  find  programs are functionally identical.  The only
13       difference between them is the  implementation  internals  of  how  the
14       filesystem is searched.  The oldfind binary has a recursive implementa‐
15       tion while find uses fts(3).  The fts-based implementation will replace
16       the  recursive  implementation  but for the moment both implementations
17       are installed.
18
19       The implementation which is installed as find on  this  system  is  the
20       fts-based implementation, since the --without-fts option was not passed
21       to the configure script when findutils was built.
