I have an improvement for the find command

[Murphy, Thomas]

Hi,
  I have compiled in a change to the find command at my local site.  I
needed to find files/directories with acl access to a particular group,
so I added in some -acl support


In the case of the file named "out" in this example:

ny630-lxdesk20:tmurphy~/workspace2/getacl$ getfacl out
# file: out
# owner: tmurphy
# group: user
user::rw-
group::rw-
group:sys:--x
group:trader:--x
group:mlpadmin:--x
mask::rwx
other::---




the command :
find . -acl mlpadmin

would report the file

(note the new -acl PATTERN in the help section)

ny630-lxdesk20:tmurphy/tmp/find/bin$ ./find --help
Usage: ./find [path...] [expression]
default path is the current directory; default expression is -print
expression may consist of:
operators (decreasing precedence; -and is implicit where no others are
given):
      ( EXPR ) ! EXPR -not EXPR EXPR1 -a EXPR2 EXPR1 -and EXPR2

      EXPR1 -o EXPR2 EXPR1 -or EXPR2 EXPR1 , EXPR2
options (always true): -daystart -depth -follow --help
      -maxdepth LEVELS -mindepth LEVELS -mount -noleaf --version -xdev
tests (N can be +N or -N or N): -amin N -anewer FILE -atime N -cmin N

      -cnewer FILE -ctime N -empty -false -fstype TYPE -gid N -group
NAME
      -ilname PATTERN -iname PATTERN -inum N -ipath PATTERN -iregex
PATTERN
      -links N -lname PATTERN -mmin N -mtime N -name PATTERN -newer FILE
-acl PATTERN

      -nouser -nogroup -path PATTERN -perm [+-]MODE -regex PATTERN
      -size N[bckw] -true -type [bcdpfls] -uid N -used N -user NAME
      -xtype [bcdpfls]

actions: -exec COMMAND ; -fprint FILE -fprint0 FILE -fprintf FILE FORMAT
      -ok COMMAND ; -print -print0 -printf FORMAT -prune -ls


Report bugs to <bug-findutils@...>.





Where can I submit my code changes for peer review?

Leslie (CC'ed) also wrote some patches for extended attribute support.
  I'm not sure to what extent these will overlap.

This list would be fine.   Please CC your patches (against the git
branch "master") to findutils-patches@... too.
