Follow-up Comment #3, bug #62227 (project findutils): I'm just a bit reluctant because '-name /' will really only find a match if "/" is given as starting point (which we don't know at the time of parsing the expression tree). In all other cases it is better for a user to keep the simple rule in mind that the -name pattern must never contain a slash. Hence to issue a warning is a good thing IMO.
So for my understanding: if 'find / -prune -name /' boils down to 'echo /', then what is the real use case behind? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?62227> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
