1# This library is deprecated and unmaintained. It is included for
2# compatibility with Perl 4 scripts which may use it, but it will be
3# removed in a future version of Perl. Please use the File::Find module

6# Usage:
7# require "find.pl";
8#
9# &find('/foo','/bar');
10#
11# sub wanted { ... }
12# where wanted does whatever you want. $dir contains the
13# current directory name, and $_ the current filename within
14# that directory. $name contains "$dir/$_". You are cd'ed
15# to $dir when the function is called. The function may
16# set $prune to prune the tree.

6e21c824 19#
19aca649 20# find / -name .nfs\* -mtime +7 -exec rm -f {} \; -o -fstype nfs -prune
6e21c824 21#
19aca649 22# corresponds to this
