Follow-up Comment #6, bug #19605 (project findutils): On second thoughts, d_type is a red herring. With the -L option, d_type doesn't provide enough information for symlinks - find needs to know what type of file the symlink points to (in order to tell whether the symlink points to a directory that it should descend into). _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?19605> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
