-
- GNU find 3.7 is now available by anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu
- [18.71.0.38] in the file pub/gnu/find-3.7.tar.Z. The tar file also
- contains the xargs and locate (fast-find) programs.
- The compressed tar file is about 230k.
-
- GNU find contains many tests and actions not present in other versions
- of find. It minimizes stat calls to gain speed; for many expressions,
- it runs two or more times as fast as AT&T's find.
-
- Major changes in release 3.7:
-
- * locate can search multiple databases
- * locate has an option to specify the database path
- * updatedb no longer goes into an infinite loop with some versions of tail
-
