Hello,
I do not understand metacharacters with '-name' option in the find command.
Example:
$ls file*
file file.html
$find . -name file*
find: paths must precede expression: file.html
Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [-Olevel] [-D help|tree|search|stat|rates|opt|exec]
[path...] [expression]
Why it does not work like with the ls command ?
