Hello Tech,
In the find(1) man page, for the option `-f':
-f path
Specifies a file hierarchy for find to traverse. File
hierarchies may be specified without the -f option if they are
given immediately after any other options.
shouldn't this be `before' instead of `after'?
Also, in the third listed example in EXAMPLES:
Print out a list of all core files on local file systems:
$ find / \! -fstype local -prune -o -name '*.core'
shouldn't this be instead:
$ find / -fstype local -prune -o -name '*.core'
The following diff incorporates these two changes.
