.TH unfind 1
.SH NAME
unfind \- remove named files/directories from stdin and their subdirectories
.SH SYNOPSIS
unfind [ file/directory ... ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
The unfind command is designed to be used in a pipe after the find
command.  The output of the find command (when used with the -print
option) is piped into the unfind command.  The arguments to unfind
name files and/or directories which should be removed (i.e. 'unfound').
Exact matches are removed as expected.  A line which looks like a
sub-directory is also removed so sub-directories are, in effect,
recursively removed.  Filenames on stdin which do not satisfy the
unmatching criteria are output on stdout unchanged.
.SH EXAMPLES
A good use of unfind is to remove files found by find.  For example, to remove
the files under /dev from a file list which is to be used for a backup use
something like this:
.IP
find / -print | unfind /dev | cpio ...
.PP
The resulting archive will NOT have any /dev special files in it.
.SH SOURCE
The unfind command is a single source C program.
