The short is "look at the man page for find", and that's good
advice anyway, because 'find' is a wonderful tool.
On the otherhand, what do you mean by "duplicate files"? You should
be aware that /usr/man/man1/crontab.1 is not the same as
/usr/man/man5/crontab.5. Also, /usr/man/man1/crontab.1 is not the
same as /var/catman/cat1/crontab.1.
