Project Description

The findutils package consists of three programs.
"find" is a program which searches a directory
tree to find a file or group of files. It walks
the directory tree and reports all occurrences of
a file matching the user's specifications.
"locate" scans one or more databases of filenames
and displays any matches. "xargs" builds and
executes command lines by gathering together
arguments it reads on the standard input. Most
often, these arguments are lists of file names
generated by "find".

find should no longer hang on systems which lack
the O_NOFOLLOW flag to open(2) and which are
clients of an unresponsive NFS server. "find -L
foo" or "find -H foo" now succeeds even if foo is
a symbolic link instead of failing with the error
message "Too many levels of symbolic links". Other
small fixes were made.
