= Description
  This is a drop-in replacement for the find module currently in the standard
  library. It is modeled on a typical 'find' command found on most Unix
  systems.

  This is derived from file-find (https://github.com/djberg96/file-find).
  Please, don't blame Daniel for any bugs in this.

= Installation

  gem install file-finder

= Synopsis
  require 'file/finder'

  rule = File::Finder.new(
    :pattern => "*.rb",
    :follow  => false,
    :path    => ['/usr/local/lib', '/opt/local/lib']
  )

  # Block that receives only matching file names.
  rule.find{ |f|
    puts f
  }

  # Getting an array of matching file names.
  results = rule.find

  # Block that receives matching file names and File::Stat for the file.
  rule.find do |f, s|
    puts "#{s.size} #{f}"
  end

  # Getting an array of matching file names and File::Stat for the file.
  # Each element of the array is an array of two elements. The first is
  # the file name and the second is its File::Stat.
  results = File::Find.new(:patter => '*.pas', :rtn_stat_info => true)

= Rationale
  The current find module in the standard library is inadequate. It is, quite
  frankly, not much more than a plain Dir.glob call. This library provides an
  interface based on options typically available on your command line 'find'
  command, thus allowing you much greater control over how you find your files.

= Options
  * atime
  * ctime
  * fnm_flags
  * follow
  * ftype
  * full_path
  * group (name or id)
  * inum
  * links
  * maxdepth
  * mindepth
  * mount
  * mtime
  * name (or 'pattern')
  * path
  * pattern
  * perm
  * prune
  * prune_path
  * rtn_stat_info
  * rtn_symlinks
  * size
  * user (name or id)

  In addition to the above options, FileTest methods such as 'readable?' and
  'writable?' may be used as keys, with true or false for their values.

  fnm_flags, full_path, prune_path, rtn_stat_info, and rtn_symlinks options
  are unique to file-finder. All other options are from file-find.

  See the RDoc documentation for more details about these options.

= Differences Between file-find and file-finder
  Some options, like group and user, are validated during initialization
  instead of at run-time. For example, file-find will ignore invalid
  users/groups and treat them as not matching. file-finder will raise an
  ArgumentError for an invalid or unknown user/group.

  file-finder uses File::fnmatch to perform name matching instead of Dir
  globbing.

= Future Plans
  More tests. More parameter validation.

= Options I won't support
  Generally speaking, anything that would require mucking around with C code
  or is just too difficult to implement in a cross platform manner will not be
  supported. These include the following options:

  * acl/xattr - Way too difficult to implement in a cross platform manner, and
    a rarely used option in practice.

  * cpio/ncpio - I will not shell out to this or any other 3rd party
    application.

  * ls/print - Use Ruby's builtin printing methods to print as you see fit.

  * ok - This is not interactive software.

= Known Issues
  The :perm option is limited to 0644 and 0444 on MS Windows.

  The :user, :group, and :inum options require the win32-file gem to work
  properly on MS Windows. However, it is not officially a dependency.

  None of the changes done to create file-finder from file-find have been
  tested on Windows.

= Bugs
  None that I'm aware of beyond the ones mentioned in the Known Issues. Please
