The find utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume of
POSIX.1‐2017, Section 12.2, Utility Syntax Guidelines.
The following options shall be supported by the implementation:
-H Cause the file information and file type evaluated for
each symbolic link encountered as a path operand on the
command line to be those of the file referenced by the
link, and not the link itself. If the referenced file
does not exist, the file information and type shall be
for the link itself. File information and type for
symbolic links encountered during the traversal of a
file hierarchy shall be that of the link itself.
-L Cause the file information and file type evaluated for
each symbolic link encountered as a path operand on the
command line or encountered during the traversal of a
file hierarchy to be those of the file referenced by
the link, and not the link itself. If the referenced
file does not exist, the file information and type
shall be for the link itself.
Specifying more than one of the mutually-exclusive options -H and
-L shall not be considered an error. The last option specified
shall determine the behavior of the utility. If neither the -H
nor the -L option is specified, then the file information and
type for symbolic links encountered as a path operand on the
command line or encountered during the traversal of a file
hierarchy shall be that of the link itself.
