ea92232a82 They add the following commands:
-anewer
   -cnewer
   -mnewer
   -okdir
   -newer[acm][acmt]

 With it, you can form queries like

     find . -newerct '1 minute ago' -print

 As an extra bonus, the program is ANSI-fied - the original version
 relies on some obscure features of K&R C.

(This PR was submitted in 1999, and the submittor has kept the patch
updated ever since, hats off for him guys, and how about you close a PR ??)

7c1d4b3ae9 Implement the following options and primaries:
-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.

ed1a4621a2 Add the -empty flag, from OpenBSD. It returns true if the directory
is empty.  There doesn't appear to be another easy way to do this.

mobile# mkdir foo
mobile# mkdir foo/bar
mobile# mkdir bar
mobile# find . -empty
./foo/bar
./bar

c76bc8f3bf This patch adds the -mindepth and -maxdepth options to find(1), which
behave as in GNU find (and of course as described in the manual page
    diff included).  I think these options would be useful for some people.

    Some missing $FreeBSD$ tags are also added.

    The patch was slightly modified (send-pr mangling of TABS).

9d2796c3ec The find -perm option currently supports an exact match,
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.

567664c4a7 Second part of bin/3648: add -flags to search for specific flags.
I added $FreeBSD$ whicle I was here. The patch wasn't usable anymore
due to its age so I adapted it.

127d7563c4 Add -execdir which will execute the exec command in the dir of the file
in question.  This change and the fts changes should be merged into 2.2-stable
as soon as they are vetted in -current.  This should allow cleaning of files
in /tmp to be reneabled.

abacbbbf01 Implement a -delete option to find. The code is extremely paranoid and
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. :-)

deletion code that he complained about since he last saw it)

7cd23434fe Add GNU-style `-print0' primary. This exists so that one can safely
do `find some-nasty-expression -print0 | perl -n0e unlink' and have all
the files actuallly get deleted.  (Using `xargs' and `rm' is not safe.)
