fnmatch
library function.
POSIX also specifies that the `LC_COLLATE' environment
variable affects the interpretation of the user's response to the
query issued by `\-ok', but this is not the case for GNU find.
fnmatch
library function supports this. It has no effect on the behaviour
of the ‘-ok’ expression.
find
will refuse to run. See Security Considerations, for a
more detailed discussion of security matters.
Setting this variable also turns off warning messages (that is, implies ‘-nowarn’) by default, because POSIX requires that apart from the output for ‘-ok’, all messages printed on stderr are diagnositcs and must result in a non-zero exit status.
Arguments to ‘-perm’ beginning with ‘+’ are treated
differently when POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. See
-perm.
