The find utility searches through a hierarchy of directories looking for files which match a certain set of criteria (such as a filename pattern). The xargs utility builds and executes command lines from standard input arguments (usually lists of file names generated by the find command). The locate utility scans a database of filenames and displays matches. The updatedb utility builds the database for locate. For more information see the project home page: https://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/ Please see below or read /usr/share/doc/findutils/NEWS after installation for details of changes since the previous release: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/findutils.git/tree/NEWS Noteworthy changes in release 4.9.0 (2022-02-22) [stable] New features in find * find now supports the -files0-from option to be able to safely pass an arbitrary number of starting points to the tool. The option requires a file name as argument, or "-" to read from standard input. The entries in that file have to be separated by NUL characters. Changes in locate / updatedb * updatedb now skips (fuse-mounted) s3fs filesystems by default, i.e., unless PRUNEFS is set. Bug Fixes * 'find -D stat -L ...' no longer determines SELinux security information as if the -L option was not given. * 'find -inum' and 'find -printf %i' now also work on platforms which allow the inode number Zero; e.g. the GNU/Hurd uses inode number 0 for /dev/console. Previously, find(1) would abort when visiting such a file. * findutils-4.8.0 failed to build on some MacOS versions. Fixed by a gnulib update. Documentation Changes * The find.1 man page and the Texinfo manual now show environment variables in a consistent style. * Furthermore, both add the description of the -printf format directive '%B', for a file's birth time, and its limitations. * The description of the -delete action has been improved and aligned among the manual page and the Texinfo documentation. * Various other documentation fixes - syntax issues and typos. * The output of 'find --help' now reads better. * The HTML online manual is using the official GNU stylesheet again. Changes to the build process * The find version without FTS, oldfind, has been completely removed. It has not been installed since 4.5.18 (2015), and was only still used in tests.
