Well, it's easy to go up the tree and using the -prune option
to omit the already searched directories.

OK. So this will make sure `/d1/d2/d3` will not be searched multiple
times? Or it is still searched when `/d1/d2`, `/d1` or `/` is
searched?

ah, so you want to fall back for the search to the parent and all
parent directories. E.g. if you are in
/d1/d2/d3
then you want to search in
/d1/d2/d3
falling back to
/d1/d2
and
/d1
and
Recursive also means subdirectories, sub subdirectories, etc.

Thanks. I will need to search the parent directory recursively. Does
this code only search whether a file is in a parent their parents,
etc., but not recursively for a given ancestor?

Hi,
I'd like to look for a file by its name in the current directory. If
not found, go the the parent and look for it again. If not go up one
level again and look for it, ... until it is found (or until a given
level is reached). If the file is not found, return an error.
The resulted path should
