509b50d902SRodney W. Grimeshierarchy specified by the command line operands.
519b50d902SRodney W. GrimesDirectories will be recreated and must be specified before the
529b50d902SRodney W. Grimesfiles they contain (the
539b50d902SRodney W. Grimes.Xr find 1
549b50d902SRodney W. Grimesutility does this correctly).
