Public bug reported:
findutils includes /usr/bin/oldfind, but the manpage doesn't give any
indication as to what this is for.
/usr/share/man/man1/oldfind.1.gz is a symlink to find.1.gz, so typing
man oldfind just displays find(1), which doesn't contain the text
‘oldfind’ anywhere in it.
The NEWS.gz file mentions it in the changes for version 4.4.1, but it
should be documented in a less transient place. And as a user it doesn't
help anyway: I don't know what fts() is, or under what circumstances I
should use oldfind instead of find.
Please make man oldfind give information on what oldfind is for. Thanks.
