Hello,
I am a user of the GNU findutils package, and I appreciate your work on
maintaining and improving this useful tool. I have a suggestion for a possible
enhancement that I think would benefit many users.
I would like to request that the find command supports long options for the
-type argument, such as "--type=directory" or "-type directory". This would
make the command more readable and self-explanatory, especially when writing
bash scripts that use find. It would also be consistent with the other long
options that find already supports, such as -name, -size, --mtime, etc.
I understand that this might require some changes to the code and the
documentation, and I am not sure if there are any technical or historical
reasons why this feature is not implemented yet. However, I think it would be a
nice addition to the find command, and I hope you will consider it.
Thank you for your time and attention.
