-E Interpret regular expressions followed by -regex and -iregex op-
tions as extended (modern) regular expressions rather than basic
regular expressions (BRE's). The re_format(7) manual page fully
describes both formats.
-iname pattern
Like -name, but the match is case insensitive.
-ipath pattern
Like -path, but the match is case insensitive.
-regex pattern
True if the whole path of the file matches pattern using regular
expression. To match a file named ``./foo/xyzzy'', you can use
the regular expression ``.*/[xyz]*'' or ``.*/foo/.*'', but not
``xyzzy'' or ``/foo/''.
-iregex pattern
Like -regex, but the match is case insensitive.
These are meant to be compatible with other find(1) implementations
such as GNU's or NetBSD's except regexp library differences.

Some missing $FreeBSD$ tags are also added.
The patch was slightly modified (send-pr mangling of TABS).

or if the mode is preceded by a '-', it checks for a match
in at least the bits specified on the command line. It is
often desirable to find things with any execute or setuid or
setgid bits set.

I added $FreeBSD$ whicle I was here. The patch wasn't usable anymore
due to its age so I adapted it.

expected by the expression parser inside find(1).

as soon as they are vetted in -current. This should allow cleaning of files
in /tmp to be reneabled.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
goes to a fair degree of trouble to enable something like this to
be safe: cd /tmp && find . -mtime +7 -delete
It removes both files and directories. It does not attempt to remove
immutable files (an earlier version I showed to a few people did a chflags
and tried to blow away even immutable files. Too risky..)
It is thought to be safe because it forces the fts(3) driven descent to
only do "minimal risk" stuff. specifically, -follow is disabled, it does
checking to see that it chdir'ed to the directory it thought it was
going to, it will *not* pass a pathname with a '/' character in it to
unlink(), so it should be totally immune to symlink tree races. If it runs
into something "fishy", it bails out rather than blunder ahead.. It's better
to do that if somebody is trying to compromise security rather than risk
giving them an opportunity. Since the unlink()/rmdir() is being called
from within the current working directory during the tree descent, there
are no fork/exec overheads or races.
As a side effect of this paranoia, you cannot do a
"find /somewhere/dir -delete", as the last argument to rmdir() is
"/somewhere/dir", and the checking won't allow it. Besides, one would use
rm -rf for that case anyway. :-)
