What's odd is that `find -xdev -- foo` doesn't work, yet `find -- foo` does. I > expected -- to be properly interpreted as the end of options indicator, as per the manual. In the case 'find -xdev --' the '--' is coming after the first expression because '-xdev' is a predicate. In the case 'find -- foo' the '--' is coming before the first expression because 'foo' is a path. This is entirely consistent with the manual. The optional '--' just has to come before the first expression if something that could be ambiguously interpreted as an option is an argument to an expression. - -- Stephen M.
