  28. .Ar expression
  29. is a combination of the following primaries and boolean operators.
  30. In the following descriptions the number n can be replaced by +n, n, or
  31. -n, to mean more than, exactly, or less than n respectively.
  32. .Ss Primaries
  33. .Bl -tag -width Ds
  34. .It Fl name Ar pattern
  35. True if the name of the file matches the given pattern.
  36. .It Fl path Ar pattern
  37. True if the path to the file matches the given pattern.
  38. .It Fl nouser
  39. True if the file belongs to a user for which getpwuid() returns NULL.

  52. permissions for file.
  53. Without the leading '-' the permissions for file must exactly match
  54. mode.

  56. True if file is of type specified by
  57. .Ar t .

  90. True if file access time is

  101. .It Fl exec Ar cmd [arg ...] \&;
  102. Execute cmd with given arguments, replacing each {} in argument list
  103. with the current file.
  104. True if cmd exits with status 0.
  105. .It Fl exec Ar cmd [arg ...] {} +

  142. If no expression is supplied, -print is used.
  143. If an expression is supplied but none of -print, -exec, or -ok is
