NAME

       vfind - find attributed software objects (ASOs)

SYNOPSIS

       vfind [ options ] pathname-list expression

DESCRIPTION

       Vfind  recursively descends the directory hierarchy for each pathname in the pathname-list
       seeking asos that match a boolean expression written in the primaries given below. In  the
       description,  the  argument  n is used as a decimal integer where +n means more than n, -n
       means less than n and n means exactly n.

OPTIONS

       -version
              print version information about the vfind program itself.  No  other  action  given
              will be performed.

       -?, -help
              print brief instructions about using vfind.

       -cache match a boolean expression also for aso residing in the derived object cache.

       -cut nesting depth
              causes  vfind  to  descend  the  filesystem hierarchy down to nesting depth nesting
              depth.

       -force Vfind normally ignores saved asos iff a AtFS directory is a symbolic link.  If  the
              -force   option   is   given  vfind  takes  also  symbolic  AtFS  directories  into
              consideration.

       -hits  causes vfind to return the number of expressions yielding true during evaluation.

       -xdev  causes vfind not to traverse down into a file system  different  from  the  one  on
              which current argument pathname resides.

PRIMARIES

       -atime n
              True if the aso has been accessed in n days.

       -ctime n
              True if status of the aso has been changed in n days.

       -mtime n
              True if the aso has been modified in n days.

       -stime n
              True if the aso has been saved in n days.

       -ltime n
              True if the aso has been locked in n days.

       -exec command
              True  if  the  executed command returns a zero value as exit status. The end of the
              command must be punctated by an ecscaped semicolon.  A  command  argument  `{}'  is
              replaced by the system name of the current aso.

       -exit n
              Terminates vfind and returns n as the exit status.

       -vl    Always  true;  causes  the  current  aso to be printed together with its associated
              statistics. This includes protection mode, AtFS version state, user, host, size  in
              bytes,  modification time respectively saving time. The format is identical to that
              of ``vl -l''.

       -name name
              True if the name argument matches the filename component of the current aso. Normal
              Shell argument syntax may be used if escaped.

       -perm onum
              True  if  the  aso  permission flags exactly match the octal numer onum. If onum is
              prefixed by a minus sign, more flag bits (017777) become significant and the  flags
              are compared: (flags&onum)==onum.

       -print Always true; causes the relative path of the current aso to be printed.

       -prune Always  true;  has  the  side effect of pruning the tree, iff the current file is a
              directory.

       -SinceName name
              True if the current aso is older than the corresponding  aso  having  the  symbolic
              name name.

       -symbolic name
              True  if  the current aso has the symbolic name name. See vadm(1) or save(1) on how
              to attach a symbolic name to an aso.

       -state state
              True if the state of the current aso matches state  state,  where  state  is  busy,
              save, proposed, published, accessed, or frozen.

       -type c
              True  if the type of the current aso is c, where c is b, c, d, f, l, or s for block
              special file, character special file, directory,  plain  file,  symbolic  link,  or
              socket.

       -uda uda
              True  if  the current aso has an user defined attribute matching uda uda, where uda
              is of the form name[=value].

       -user user
              True if the current aso belongs to user user, where user is a login name  optinally
              followed by a domainname (e.g. uli@cs.tu-berlin.de).

       -last  True if the current aso is the last version of the development line.

       -first True if the current aso is the first version of the development line.

       -locked
              True if the current aso is locked.

       -locker user
              True  if  the  current  aso  is  locked  by  user  user, where user is a login name
              optionally followed by a domainname.

       -eq vnum
              True if the version number of the current aso matches version  number  vnum,  where
              vnum is generation.revision.

       -lt vnum
              True if the version number of the current aso is less than the version number vnum.

       -le vnum
              True if the version number of the current aso is less equal than the version number
              vnum.

       -gt vnum
              True if the version number of the current aso is greater than  the  version  number
              vnum.

       -ge vnum
              True  if  the  version  number of the current aso is greater equal than the version
              number vnum.

       -newer file
              True if the current aso is more recently than the argument file which can be an aso
              (e.g. vfind.c[1.6]).

       -size n
              True if the file is n blocks long (512 bytes per block).

       The  primaries  may  be combined using the operators (, ) for grouping, ! for negation, -a
       for concatenation (may be omitted) and -o for alternation of  primaries.  Parentheses  and
       the exclamation mark are special to the Shell and must be escaped.

       vfind does not descent AtFS directories, so the AtFS archives are never selected.

EXAMPLES

       To find all asos whose state is busy and that have the symbolic name "foobar":

              vfind / -state busy -symbolic foobar -print

       To find the latest proposed version of foo.c in the current directory:

              vfind -prune 0 . -name foo.c -state proposed -last -print
