Needless to say, I have no idea if this is sound, however:
/* With -m option -- treat arguments as a glob patterns */
// if (OPT_ISSET(ops,'m')) {
if (OPT_ISSET(ops,'m') && **argv != '/' ) {
... seems to work. I'm just aping what Peter did, of course. Even when
one has narrowed down a 'search' to a single file, the command should
not break. In that case the command is not so much 'finding' as it is
informing.
$ find /etc/fstab
/etc/fstab
... sure, it's a bit pointless to 'find' an exactly specified file, but
the command still works, and it confirms that the thing exists. With
Peter's -S switch one might 'whence' a specific file just to see the
pointer chain expand. And the other switches should not break it, even
if they aren't really doing anything.
