Quiz: portability of “find” command

PDF ·

On MacOSX:

wk:/w/repos/dockerfiles&> find wkoszek -type d -depth 1
wkoszek/base
wkoszek/nginx

On Linux you get:

find: warning: you have specified the -depth option after a non-option
argument -type, but options are not positional (-depth affects tests
specified before it as well as those specified after it). Please specify
options before other arguments.

Hint: compare manual pages of both commands.

Quiz: do you know offhand what’s the correct fix?
