-o switch in find
Hello all
I'm experimenting with the use of the -prune action and I've encountered some confusing behaviour when using the -o option. Can't find anything specific in the man page.
If I have a directory within my current directory called testlink and I run:-
find . -name testlink -prune
I get what I would expect - the name of the directory, but none of the contents, since the -prune switch has prevented the command descending. However, if I run:-
find . -name testlink -prune -o -print
Then all other files/directories in the current one are displayed, but not the testlink directory.
My understanding is that the -o option is a 'short-circuit' OR, in which case, having returned true with the left-hand expression, should the -print action be performed? Also, shouldn't the testlink directory be displayed?
I'm using SunOS 5.5.1, using KSH.
Thanks

using switch can we match for more than one values..
eg:
switcha(a)
{
case 1, 2, 3: printf("ddd");
break;
case 4, 5, 6: printf("mmm");
break;
}
In this case wat i found was only for the last value, i.e 3 and 6 the switch works.

GIT-PRUNE(1) Git Manual GIT-PRUNE(1)
NAME
git-prune - Prune all unreachable objects from the object database
SYNOPSIS
git prune [-n] [-v] [--progress] [--expire <time>] [--] [<head>...]
DESCRIPTION
Note
In most cases, users should run git gc, which calls git prune. See the section "NOTES", below.
This runs git fsck --unreachable using all the refs available in refs/, optionally with additional set of objects specified on the command
line, and prunes all unpacked objects unreachable from any of these head objects from the object database. In addition, it prunes the
unpacked objects that are also found in packs by running git prune-packed. It also removes entries from .git/shallow that are not reachable
by any ref.
Note that unreachable, packed objects will remain. If this is not desired, see git-repack(1).
OPTIONS
-n, --dry-run
Do not remove anything; just report what it would remove.
-v, --verbose
Report all removed objects.
--progress
Show progress.
--expire <time>
Only expire loose objects older than <time>.
--
Do not interpret any more arguments as options.
<head>...
In addition to objects reachable from any of our references, keep objects reachable from listed <head>s.
EXAMPLE
To prune objects not used by your repository or another that borrows from your repository via its .git/objects/info/alternates:
$ git prune $(cd ../another && git rev-parse --all)
NOTES
In most cases, users will not need to call git prune directly, but should instead call git gc, which handles pruning along with many other
housekeeping tasks.
For a description of which objects are considered for pruning, see git fsck's --unreachable option.
