7 Configuration
***************

The findutils source distribution includes a 'configure' script which
examines the system and generates files required to build findutils.
See the files 'README' and 'INSTALL'.

   A number of options can be specified on the 'configure' command line,
and many of these are straightforward, adequately documented in the
'--help' output, or not normally useful.  Options which are useful or
which are not obvious are explained here.

Leaf Optimisation

Take advantage of Unix file system semantics.

d_type Optimisation

Take advantage of file type information.

fts

A non-recursive file system search.
