Um, the web-page that you cite is just a chatty version of a man page, and
is apparently geared for LINUX (it speaks as if find(1) were among a set
of ``other Linux commands'').  How or if the author's GNU/LINUX
distribution's version of find(1) varies from conventional UNIX find(1)
(or, more to the point in this context, NetBSD's find(1)) is not
immediately clear (one must read the web-page and compare to a standard
find(1)'s man-page).  Indeed, it's not even clear which version of find(1)
the web-page author thinks is ``the'' GNU/LINUX find command.  I suspect
that if you look at all of the distributions, there's more than one
version.

The man-page has three added bonuses: You can read it without a
web-browser.  It's already installed on your system.  You can typeset it
for printing nicely.  (Offline references are nice.)


Still, I think that the locate(1) command is a better choice for what the
person wants to do.  Type ``man locate'' on your NetBSD system to read
about this command.
