oldfind (1) Linux Manual Page
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 implementation 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.
