Differences

Pattern Matching

Some elements of the Pattern Matching Notation are optional; see Pattern Matching Notation.

Option and Operand Handling

Options and operands to find shall behave as described in ISO POSIX (2003), except as follows:

-H 

need not be supported

-L 

need not be supported

-exec ... + 

argument aggregation need not be supported

Rationale: The -H and -L options are not yet widely available in implementations of the find command, nor is argument aggregation. A future version of this specification will require these features be supported.
