Follow-up Comment #1, bug #64605 (project findutils): Hi, This has come up before: #58941 (and to a lesser extent #64253). There is a patch from seven years ago and some list discussion but there are some issues with it. It looks promising but it seems that it went quiet five years ago.
Have a look at #58941. There is a link to a version of findutils by Morgan Weetman on gitlab that has an -xattr predicate, and there is a link to the mailing list discussion. Perhaps you could use Morgan Weetman's version. Until the issues are resolved, another alternative is my rawhide (rh) program (https://codeberg.org/raforg/rawhide). It's another file finder that can do almost everything that GNU find does (except -fstype), and it can also search by extended attributes (names and values), and by access control lists ("POSIX" style (for Linux/macOS/Cygwin) and NFSv4 style (for FreeBSD/Solaris)), and by ext2-style file attributes or BSD-style file flags (e.g., immutable, append_only), and by libmagic filetypes/mimetypes. There are some commercial versions of find (macOS/Solaris) that can search for files that have extended attributes but they can only search by the existence of EAs or by their names, not by their values. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?64605> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
