Doesn't find know enough not to follow symlinks to directories?
Indeed, by default, it does not follow symlinks to directories.
I would think it ought to.
find / -P -name FOO
What does -P do? I don't see it in the documentation of find
on my machine.
It's in the info manual, although it's not in the --help output (I'll
tell the maintainer):
Three options can precede the list of files. They determine the way
that symbolic links are handled.
`-P'
Never follow symbolic links (this is the default), except in the
case of the `-xtype' predicate.
`-L'
Always follow symbolic links, except in the case of the `-xtype'
predicate.
`-H'
Follow symbolic links specified in the list of files to search, or
which are otherwise specified on the command line.
