It finds files using pretty C expressions. It can do everything GNU find can do (except -fstype) plus it can search by file attributes/flags (like immutable/access_only), and by access control lists, and by extended attributes (names and values), and by libmagic filetypes/mimetypes. The language is inspired by C and you can write your own search term functions (but it's a very very little language). First published in 1990. Lost for decades. I recently found it in my archives, fixed it, made it secure, and brought it up to date, and added everthing I could think of.
