Hello,

I do not understand metacharacters with '-name' option in the find command.

Example:

$ls file*
file  file.html

$find . -name file*
find: paths must precede expression: file.html
Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [-Olevel] [-D help|tree|search|stat|rates|opt|exec] 
[path...] [expression]

Why it does not work like with the ls command ?
