mdoc(7) police: markup polishing.

Do not repeat the name of the flag in its description

Add a unary -not operator ala -false and !, for sake of completeness.

Oops, add -false to the operators list in the manual page for find(1), as added
in revision 1.17 of option.c.

Indicate that the semicolon that terminates argument lists should be in
its own argument for -ok and -okdir.

Make it more obvious that the semicolon that terminates -exec and -execdir
argument lists must be in an argument by itself, not on the end of the
previous one.

Support the SysV-style -exec utility args.. {} + function, required by
SUSv3. This is similar to find foo -print0 | xargs -0 utility args.

Bloat find(1) even more, and introduce the concept
of time units to be used with -[acm]time primaries.

The implementation of -flags was broken and did not match the (poorly)
documented behavior. Only a certain set of file flags were recognized,
and "no" flags did not match files that have corresponding flags bits
turned off.

Fix and extend the -flags functionality as follows:

: -flags [-|+]<flags>,<notflags>
: The flags are specified using symbolic names (see chflags(1)).
: Those with the "no" prefix (except "nodump") are said to be
: <notflags>. Flags in <flags> are checked to be set, and flags in
: <notflags> are checked to be not set. Note that this is different
: from -perm, which only allows the user to specify mode bits that
: are set.
:
: If flags are preceded by a dash (``-''), this primary evaluates
: to true if at least all of the bits in <flags> and none of the bits
: in <notflags> are set in the file's flags bits. If flags are pre-
: ceded by a plus (``+''), this primary evaluates to true if any of
: the bits in <flags> is set in the file's flags bits, or any of the
: bits in <notflags> is not set in the file's flags bits. Otherwise,
: this primary evaluates to true if the bits in <flags> exactly match
: the file's flags bits, and none of the <flags> bits match those of
: <notflags>.

With it, you can form queries like

find . -newerct '1 minute ago' -print

As an extra bonus, the program is ANSI-fied - the original version
relies on some obscure features of K&R C.

updated ever since, hats off for him guys, and how about you close a PR ??)

mdoc(7) police: restore correct order of references in the SEE ALSO.

Implement the following options and primaries:

tions as extended (modern) regular expressions rather than b

Implement the following options and primaries:

-E Interpret regular expressions followed by -regex and -iregex op-
tions as extended (modern) regular expressions rather than basic
regular expressions (BRE's). The re_format(7) manual page fully
describes both formats.

-iname pattern
Like -name, but the match is case insensitive.

-ipath pattern
Like -path, but the match is case insensitive.

-regex pattern
True if the whole path of the file matches pattern using regular
expression. To match a file named ``./foo/xyzzy'', you can use
the regular expression ``.*/[xyz]*'' or ``.*/foo/.*'', but not
``xyzzy'' or ``/foo/''.

-iregex pattern
Like -regex, but the match is case insensitive.

These are meant to be compatible with other find(1) implementations
such as GNU's or NetBSD's except regexp library differences.
