NAME
oldfind - search for files in a directory hierarchy
SYNOPSIS
oldfind [-H] [-L] [-P] [-D debugopts] [-Olevel] [path...] [expression]
DESCRIPTION
The oldfind and find programs are functionally identical. The only
difference between them is the implementation internals of how the
filesystem is searched. The oldfind binary has a recursive implementa-
tion while find uses fts(3). The fts-based implementation will replace
the recursive implementation but for the moment both implementations
are installed.
The implementation which is installed as find on this system is the
fts-based implementation, since the --without-fts option was not passed
to the configure script when findutils was built.
