Details:
I imagine that there is a class of programs which prefer to start their data
processing with basenames. They will operate on file names without referencing
directories from their input data at the beginning. So I am looking for ways
that the copy of a found directory could be occasionally omitted from a search
result.
0 The parameter “-printf %f\\n” is already supported. Its data processing
needs also an amount of computation resources. How do you think about to let
an other program version work without it because of a system configuration
where the applied output function can be a built-in setting?
0 The parameters “-exec” and “-execdir” are also supported. Can an
other argument (or another built-in setting) trigger the omission of a
directory name from the passed command line parameters?
