Do you use find command?

In most future Unix systems, -print will be assumed if no actions are
given, because the draft POSIX 1003.2 (shell & utilities) standard
requires that.  In most existing systems, this feature has not been
added yet, and find without an action simply goes through your
directory tree producing no output and wasting CPU time.
