  24
  25 ;; With this module you can build up a (hopefully) valid find(1)
  26 ;; string ready for the command line.  For example:
  27
  28 ;; (find-cmd '(prune (name ".svn" ".git" ".CVS"))
  29 ;;           '(and (or (name "*.pl" "*.pm" "*.t")
  30 ;;                     (mtime "+1"))
  31 ;;                 (fstype "nfs" "ufs"))))
  32
  33 ;; will become (un-wrapped):
  34
  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' \\) \\)"
