WALK(1) WALK(1)
NAME
walk - walk a path
SYNOPSIS
walk [ -dftxu ] [ -n mind,maxd ] [ -e statfmt ] [ name ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Walk recursively descends any directory arguments, printing
the name of each file on a separate line. When no arguments
are given, the working directory is assumed. Non-directory
arguments are checked for existence, then printed, if so.
Options are:
-d Print only directories.
-f Print only non-directories.
-t Print a file only if it has the temporary flag set.
-x Print a file only if it has any executable bits set.
-u Unbuffered output.
-n min,max
Set the inclusive range of depths for filtering in
results. Both min and max are optional. An argument
of n with no comma is equivalent to 0,n.
-e statfmt
Specify the output format. Each character in statfmt
specifies a file attribute to display. The printed
attributes are separated by spaces.
The statfmt characters are as follows:
U owner name (uid)
G group name (gid)
M name of last user to modify (muid)
a last access time (atime)
m last modification time (mtime)
n final path element (name)
p path
q qid path.version.type (see stat(2))
s size in bytes
x permissions
D server device
T server type (kernel device rune)
The default statfmt is simply, p.

BUGS
Manipulating ifs is a nuisance.
File names are assumed to not contain newlines.
Correct invocation requires too much thought.
