23 ;;; Commentary:
25 ;; With this module you can build up a (hopefully) valid find(1)
26 ;; string ready for the command line. For example:
28 ;; (find-cmd '(prune (name ".svn" ".git" ".CVS"))
29 ;; '(and (or (name "*.pl" "*.pm" "*.t")
30 ;; (mtime "+1"))
31 ;; (fstype "nfs" "ufs"))))
33 ;; will become (un-wrapped):
35 ;; "find '/home/phil/' \\( \\( -name '.svn' -or -name '.git' -or
36 ;; -name '.CVS' \\) -prune -or -true \\) \\( \\( \\( -name '*.pl'
37 ;; -or -name '*.pm' -or -name '*.t' \\) -or -mtime '+1' \\) -and \\(
38 ;; -fstype 'nfs' -or -fstype 'ufs' \\) \\)"
