 Invoking `find'
 ===============
 
      find [FILE...] [EXPRESSION]
 
    `find' searches the directory tree rooted at each file name FILE by
 evaluating the EXPRESSION on each file it finds in the tree.
 
    `find' considers the first argument that begins with `-', `(', `)',
 `,', or `!' to be the beginning of the expression; any arguments before
 it are paths to search, and any arguments after it are the rest of the
 expression.  If no paths are given, the current directory is used.  If
 no expression is given, the expression `-print' is used.
 
    `find' exits with status 0 if all files are processed successfully,
 greater than 0 if errors occur.
 
     Primary Index, for a summary of all of the tests, actions,
 and options that the expression can contain.
 
    `find' also recognizes two options for administrative use:
 
 `--help'
      Print a summary of the command-line argument format and exit.
 
 `--version'
      Print the version number of `find' and exit.
