iwholename code example

Example: iwholename

Test: -path pattern
Test: -wholename pattern

    True if the entire file name, starting with the command line argument under which the file was found, matches shell pattern pattern. To ignore a whole directory tree, use ‘-prune’ rather than checking every file in the tree (see Directories). The “entire file name” as used by find starts with the starting-point specified on the command line, and is not converted to an absolute pathname, so for example cd /; find tmp -wholename /tmp will never match anything.

    Find compares the ‘-path’ argument with the concatenation of a directory name and the base name of the file it’s considering. Since the concatenation will never end with a slash, ‘-path’ arguments ending in ‘/’ will match nothing (except perhaps a start point specified on the command line).

    The name ‘-wholename’ is GNU-specific, but ‘-path’ is more portable; it is supported by HP-UX find and is part of the POSIX 2008 standard.

Test: -ipath pattern
Test: -iwholename pattern

    These tests are like ‘-wholename’ and ‘-path’, but the match is case-insensitive. 

In the context of the tests ‘-path’, ‘-wholename’, ‘-ipath’ and ‘-wholename’, a “full path” is the name of all the directories traversed from find’s start point to the file being tested, followed by the base name of the file itself. These paths are often not absolute paths; for example
