As per POSIX, the -exec ... {} + primary always returns true, but a non-zero
exit status causes find to return a non-zero exit status itself. GNU does
the same, and also for -execdir ... {} +.
It does not make much sense to return false from the primary only when the
child process happens to be run.
The behaviour for -exec/-execdir ... ; remains unchanged: the primary
returns true or false depending on the exit status, and find's exit status
is unaffected.
fts_read() leaves errno unchanged on EOF and sets it on error, so set errno
to 0 before calling it. Also, don't trust finish_execplus() to leave errno
unchanged.
If -ignore_readdir_race is present, [ENOENT] errors caused by deleting a
file after find has read its name from a directory are ignored.
Formerly, -ignore_readdir_race did nothing.

do the last execution for all at termination.

hack, thereby allowing future extensions to the structure (e.g., for extended
attributes) without rebreaking the ABI. FTSENT now contains a pointer to the
parent stream, which fts_compar() can then take advantage of, avoiding the
undefined behavior previously warned about. As a consequence of this change,
the prototype of the comparison function passed to fts_open() has changed
to reflect the required amount of constness for its use. All callers in the
tree are updated to use the correct prototype.
Comparison functions can now make use of the new parent pointer to access
the new stream-specific private data pointer, which is intended to assist
creation of reentrant library routines which use fts(3) internally.

With it, you can form queries like

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

-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.

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