It mentioned as an example: find / -depth -print Now I have RTFM (both on BSD-based systems and SysV-based system) and I can find no option -depth, furthermore, when I try the example I get: find: bad option < -depth > What does this option mean ? /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Michael J.
