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

11# require "finddepth.pl";
12#
13# &finddepth('/foo','/bar');
14#
15# sub wanted { ... }
16# where wanted does whatever you want. $dir contains the
17# current directory name, and $_ the current filename within
18# that directory. $name contains "$dir/$_". You are cd'ed
19# to $dir when the function is called. The function may
20# set $prune to prune the tree.
21#
19aca649 22# For example,
6e21c824 23#
19aca649 24# find / -name .nfs\* -mtime +7 -exec rm -f {} \; -o -fstype nfs -prune
6e21c824 25#
19aca649 26# corresponds to this
