Do not optimize by assuming that directories con-
tain 2 fewer subdirectories than their hard link
count. This option is needed when searching
filesystems that do not follow the Unix directory-
link convention, such as CD-ROM or MS-DOS filesys-
tems or AFS volume mount points. Each directory on
a normal Unix filesystem has at least 2 hard links:
its name and its `.' entry. Additionally, its
subdirectories (if any) each have a `..' entry
linked to that directory. When find is examining a
directory, after it has statted 2 fewer subdirecto-
ries than the directory's link count, it knows that
the rest of the entries in the directory are non-
directories (`leaf' files in the directory tree).
If only the files' names need to be examined, there
is no need to stat them; this gives a significant
increase in search speed.
