The code in findutils is different for -false and comma "," operator.
But the use appears to be same for my tests.
The man page says:
expr1 , expr2
List; both expr1 and expr2 are always evaluated.
The value of expr1 is discarded; the value of the
list is the value of expr2.
This appears to be same as:
expr1 -false -o expr2
What is different for the results of -false test and comma "," operator?
Any other use or examples of using comma "," operator that is different
from "-false -o"
Also, do you know of any other implementations of find(1) that provide the
"," comma operator?
Please carbon-copy me on replies.
Thanks,
