Understanding find -depth
I was looking at a code and stumbled over the option -depth of find command After searching what -depth does I found the below: Code:
-depth Process each directory's contents before the directory itself. Does it mean the sub directories are processed before the current directory in the search operation ? Please help in understanding Thanks |

Check out the wikipedia article tree traversal and look for
generic tree and note the difference between depth-first and breadth-first searches.
