It's entirely Both -find and -mount are documented in the current 3B2 manual and in the 386 SVr3.1 manual. I've generally avoided them after being surprised with the results of some early attempts (not unusual for my attempts to use find, and I've forgotten the circumstances). Perhaps I was trying to avoid crossing a mount point on a remote filesystem.. Les Mikesell

I'm working with the rh program posted to the net recently (it is a find(1)
"replacement" that deals with C-style expressions). It doesn't handle
some of the stuff that find(1) does on our HP9000/300 Series system, so
I'm wondering how find does it or how I could do it...
1) find has a -mountstop(or something like that)==>it recognizes mount
points. It would be nice to able to tell my program to not cross
mount points without having to tell it to explicitly "prune" all of
the mount point directories.
2) find recognizes file system types.
3) HP-UX has "Context Dependent Files"(CDFs) that are really hidden
directories containing the file that is really referred to. The file
system decides which file to get based on the "context" of the
requesting CPU. This allows the discless workstations to share the
same file system without duplicating lots of stuff. Physically it
looks like this:
/etc:
Hrwsr-xr-x 2 root other 1024 May 2 14:27 inittab+
/etc/inittab+:
-r--r--r-- 1 root other 1163 May 2 14:26 server_node
-r--r--r-- 1 root other 735 May 4 12:07 discless_node1
-r--r--r-- 1 root other 735 May 4 12:07 discless_node2
At any rate, the readdir routines read the contents of /etc as
including the regular file "inittab" instead of the hidden
directory "inittab+", but find(1) is able to display the hidden
directories with a "-hidden" switch or "-type H". I want to do this,
too.
Thanx for your help,
