     NAME
	  find - find files

     SYNOPSIS
	  find path-name-list  expression

     HP-UX COMPATIBILITY
	  Level:    HP-UX/STANDARD

	  Origin:   System V

	  Native Language Support:
		    8-bit filenames.

     DESCRIPTION
	  Find recursively descends the directory hierarchy  for  each
	  path	name  in  the  path-name-list  (i.e., one or more path
	  names) seeking files that match a boolean expression written
	  in  the  primaries  given  below.   In the descriptions, the
	  argument n is used as a decimal integer where +n means  more
	  than n, -n means less than n and n means exactly n.

	  -name string	  True if  string  matches  the	 current  file
			  name.	  Normal  shell argument syntax may be
			  used if escaped (watch out for [, ? and *).

	  -perm onum	  True if the file  permission	flags  exactly
			  match	 the octal number onum (see chmod(1)).
			  If onum is prefixed by a  minus  sign,  more
			  flag	 bits  (017777,	 see  stat(2))	become
			  significant and the flags are compared:

			      (flags&onum)==onum

	  -type c	  True if the type of the file is c,  where  c
			  is  b,  c,  d,  p, f, or l for block special
			  file,	 character  special  file,  directory,
			  fifo	(a.k.a	named  pipe),  plain  file, or
			  symbolic link respectively.

	  -links n	  True if the file has n links.

	  -user uname	  True if the file belongs to the user	uname.
			  If uname is numeric and does not appear as a
			  login name in the /etc/passwd	 file,	it  is
			  taken as a user ID.

	  -group gname	  True if the file belongs to the group gname.
			  If  gname  is numeric and does not appear in
			  the /etc/group file, it is taken as a	 group
			  ID.
	  -size n[c]	  True if the file is n blocks long.  If n  is
			  followed by a c, the size is in characters.

	  -atime n	  True if the file  has	 been  accessed	 in  n
			  days.	  The  access  time  of directories in
			  path-name-list is changed by find itself.

	  -mtime n	  True if the file  has	 been  modified	 in  n
			  days.

	  -ctime n	  True if the file has been changed in n days.

	  -exec cmd	  True if the  executed	 cmd  returns  a  zero
			  value	 as  exit status.  The end of cmd must
			  be punctuated by an  escaped	semicolon.   A
			  command  argument  {}	 is  replaced  by  the
			  current path name.

	  -ok cmd	  Like -exec except that the generated command
			  line	is printed with a question mark first,
			  and is executed only if the user responds by
			  typing y.

	  -print	  Always true; causes the current path name to
			  be printed.

	  -cpio device	  Always  true;	 write	the  current  file  on
			  device    in	 cpio(5)   format   (5120-byte
			  records).

	  -newer file	  True if the current file has	been  modified
			  more recently than the argument file.

	  -depth	  Always true; causes descent of the directory
			  hierarchy  to be done so that all entries in
			  a  directory	are  acted   on	  before   the
			  directory  itself.   This can be useful when
			  find is used with cpio(1) to transfer	 files
			  that	are  contained	in directories without
			  write permission.

	  ( expression )  True if the parenthesized expression is true
			  (parentheses	are  special  to the shell and
			  must be escaped).

	  -inum n	  True if the file has inode number n.

	  -ncpiodevice	  Same as -cpio but  adds  the	-c  option  to
			  cpio.

	  The primaries may be combined using the following  operators
	  (in order of decreasing precedence):
	  1)  The  negation  of	 a  primary  (!	  is  the  unary   not
	      operator).

	  2)  Concatenation of primaries (the and operation is implied
	      by the juxtaposition of two primaries).

	  3)  Alternation of primaries (-o is the or operator).

     EXAMPLE
	  To remove all files named a.out or *.o that  have  not  been
	  accessed for a week:

	  find	/  \( -name a.out -o -name '*.o' \) -atime +7 -exec rm
	  {} \;

	  Note that the spaces delimiting the escaped parentheses  are
	  required.

     FILES
	  /etc/passwd, /etc/group
