find /dev -path /dev/snd -prune -or -type d -print You're combining -path /dev/snd with -print; you won't ever print anything other than /dev/snd that way. (And this belongs on the forums, really.) Ok, I see it now. Its a clause that because it is satisfied short circuits the rest of the expression. Believe me, I read and reread the man page, did the web searches, looked at various examples, etc. and it just wasn't making sense. Sorry for the trouble but I honestly thought it was a bug -- and I do report bugs upstream when I know the locations for reporting them, but to the best of my knowledge core system utilities come down from GNU and I'm not aware that they have a bugzilla system.

If you're sure you've found a bug: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=findutils If you're not sure, and would like to ask: http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-findutils/ That's for upstream, but I'll restate that questions such as this one are also welcome on the Gentoo forums. And no trouble. |
