>Description:
The "-follow" option to the find(1) command is only mentioned in passing, but not otherwise documented. This is true in both FreeBSD 4.8 and 5.x ( http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=find&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+5.2-RELEASE+and+Ports&format=html )
Fortunately, Sun has the information, so I know I didn't just imagine the option: http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/816-0210/6m6nb7m9j?a=view
>How-To-Repeat:
emacs
man find
search for "follow"
