+      The GNU Find Utilities are the basic directory searching
+      utilities of the GNU operating system.  These programs are
+      typically used in conjunction with other programs to provide
+      modular and powerful directory search and file locating
+      capabilities to other commands.
+
+      The tools supplied with this package are:
+
+          * find - search for files in a directory hierarchy;
+          * locate - list files in databases that match a pattern;
+          * updatedb - update a file name database;
+          * xargs - build and execute command lines from standard input.
