This package contains the GNU find, xargs, and locate programs.  This
version of find and xargs comply with POSIX 1003.2, and also support
some additional options, some borrowed from Unix and some unique to
GNU.

To gain speed, GNU find now avoids statting files whenever possible.
It does this by: (1) Checking the number of links to directories and
not statting files that it knows aren't directories until it
encounters a test or action that needs the stat info.  (2) Rearranging
the command line, where possible, so that it can do tests that don't
require a stat before tests that do, in hopes that the latter will be
skipped because of an OR or AND.  (But it only does this where it will
leave the output unchanged.)

The locate utility is based on James Woods' public domain fast-find
code, which is also distributed with the 4.3BSD find.  Because POSIX
requires `find foo' to have the same effect as `find foo -print', the
fast-find searching has been moved to a separate program, `locate';
the same thing has been done in 4.3BSD-reno/4.4BSD.  If you use
locate, you should run the included `updatedb' script from cron
periodically (typically nightly).
