The following reply was made to PR docs/65822; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Peter Ludemann" <ludemann@yahoo-inc.com> To: <freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org>, <ludemann@yahoo-inc.com> Cc: Subject: Re: docs/65822: find(1) documentation neglects to describe "-follow" option Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2004 15:08:08 -0700 Except -H doesn't work (at least, not with FreeBSD 4.8). Here's an example, where -H doesn't follow a symlink but -follow does (to find the file /tmp/aaa): sharks 15:02:13 ~ $ cd foo sharks 15:02:15 ~/foo $ ln -s /tmp ttt sharks 15:02:18 ~/foo $ find -H . -name aaa sharks 15:02:25 ~/foo $ find . -follow -name aaa ./ttt/aaa sharks 15:02:32 ~/foo $
