[gentoo-dev] Recurse directories

[Matthew J. Turk]

Hi there - I was wondering if there's a portage command to recurse all
the directories in a given directory.  Anybody?  I know I could do a ls
-l |grep ^d|cut -cwhatever-1000, but I'm looking for something already
*in* portage, if it's available.  Ideally, it would be something that
would return a list, for use in something like:

for i in `COMMAND`
do
	...
done

Thanks!

	Hi;

	I think the 'find' command will do whatever you want.
eg. 'find . -type d -maxdepth 1 -exec THING {} \;'
