Option and Operand Handling

Options and operands to find shall behave as described in ISO POSIX (2003), except as follows:

-H

need not be supported

-L

need not be supported

-exec ... +

argument aggregation need not be supported

Rationale: The -H and -L options are only supported in the most recent versions of find, as is argument aggregation. When this verion of find becomes widely adopted, these limitations will be removed.
