In that case it does not do anything useful, sure. To get something useful we would need to add more. A minimal example to demonstrate the use of -name / might be $ find / ! -name / -prune This prints all entries in the root directory without recursing, in a way that should work in any POSIX-compatible implementation of find. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?62227> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
