The man page says:
-wholename pattern
File name matches shell pattern pattern. The metacharacters do not treat `/' or `.' specially; so, for example,
find . -wholename './sr*sc'
will print an entry for a directory called './src/misc' (if one exists). To ignore a whole directory tree, use -prune rather than checking every
file in the tree. For example, to skip the directory `src/emacs' and all files and directories under it, and print the names of the other files
found, do something like this:
find . -wholename './src/emacs' -prune -o -print
Okay, so let's try it:
zooko@yumyum:~/foo$ mkdir splat
zooko@yumyum:~/foo$ mkdir gronk
zooko@yumyum:~/foo$ mkdir gronk/fluff
zooko@yumyum:~/foo$ find . -wholename './gronk/' -prune -o -print
./gronk
./gronk/fluff
./splat
... !
I just figured out that the problem is the trailing "/" in my pattern. Hm. I'm used to writing a trailing "/" whenever I write a directory name. I wonder if it is possible for the man page to disabuse the casual reader of this assumption... |
The find(1) man page says:

Directory gronk and its subtree is not skipped, while I was expecting that to happen.
