Hello,

I've been wondering.

The plan9 'replacement' for the (linux/unix-like) find command, according to the faq, is, in a way,

grep foo `{du -a . | awk '{print $2}'}

Now I want to find all files containing foo.

Is it so that `{ ... } produces the full list first and only afterwards this is used?

If so (and as I understand it really is so), the number of arguments may be enormous, e.g. millions of names...

I don't feel this is the way to go...

How do you carry out such a search?

Thanks

Ruda
