b7c0ab3f94 Add a BUGS entry pointing out that -mindepth and -maxdepth are global
options even though they look like primaries.  (This is already documented
in the options themselves, but is sufficiently astonishing that I think it
deserves a BUGS entry as well.)

ca80d9a017 Merge the "multibyte not supported" BUG into the pre-existing BUGS

Move the HISTORY section to place it before BUGS rather than after BUGS,
in order to minimize the chance of this error being reproduced in the
future.  (Both mdoc(7) and 63% of manual pages have these sections listed
in this order.)

67b0af2d89 - introduce a new primary `-depth n', which tests whether
the depth of the current file relative to the starting
  point of the traversal is n. The usual +/- modifiers
  to the argument apply.

- while I'm here, fix -maxdepth in the case of a depth-first
  traversal

f83248d955 The implementation of -flags was broken and did not match the (poorly)
documented behavior.  Only a certain set of file flags were recognized,
and "no" flags did not match files that have corresponding flags bits
turned off.

Fix and extend the -flags functionality as follows:

: -flags [-|+]<flags>,<notflags>
:    The flags are specified using symbolic names (see chflags(1)).
:    Those with the "no" prefix (except "nodump") are said to be
:    <notflags>.  Flags in <flags> are checked to be set, and flags in
:    <notflags> are checked to be not set.  Note that this is different
:    from -perm, which only allows the user to specify mode bits that
:    are set.
:
:    If flags are preceded by a dash (``-''), this primary evaluates
:    to true if at least all of the bits in <flags> and none of the bits
:    in <notflags> are set in the file's flags bits.  If flags are pre-
:    ceded by a plus (``+''), this primary evaluates to true if any of
:    the bits in <flags> is set in the file's flags bits, or any of the
:    bits in <notflags> is not set in the file's flags bits.  Otherwise,
:    this primary evaluates to true if the bits in <flags> exactly match
:    the file's flags bits, and none of the <flags> bits match those of
:    <notflags>.

e51263b8a6 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 ??)

caa8a14382 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.
