aperçu
Breadth-first version of find
historique
bfs is a C implementation of a breadth-first variant of the Unix find command. It aims to remain compatible with POSIX, GNU, BSD, and macOS find behavior while adding a friendlier command-line parser, diagnostics, and practical extensions.
The official repository was created in June 2015. Early tags show a pre-1.0 series before the project reached 1.0 in 2017, followed by 2.0 in October 2020, 3.0 in July 2023, 4.0 in August 2024, and active 4.1.x maintenance through June 2026.
The README documents the core design choice: unlike traditional depth-first find traversal, bfs lists shallower paths first. Around that foundation it adds compatibility with several find dialects, argument-order leniency, typo suggestions, expression warnings, and convenience extensions such as -exclude and -nohidden.
bfs has unusually broad packaging for a small Unix utility. Its README lists packages for Alpine, Arch, Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, Gentoo, Guix, macOS, and other systems, and the input separately records Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, pacman, zypper, Debian, Ubuntu, and Alpine packaging.
That packaging footprint reflects the niche: bfs is not a replacement for every find use, but it is attractive to users who want familiar find syntax with better traversal behavior, diagnostics, and cross-platform consistency.
Users run bfs much like find: searching directory trees by name, type, size, metadata, predicates, and actions. Its breadth-first order can surface shallow matches earlier, and its parser accepts common argument placements that traditional find variants reject.
The tool is also useful in scripts when its extensions matter, but its package value is strongest for interactive shell use where friendlier errors and faster discovery of shallow matches save time.
bfs is notable to package-focused users because it reimagines one of Unix's oldest daily-driver commands without throwing away compatibility. That makes it a rare modern system utility that can be installed next to the base tool and immediately compared on real workflows.
Its significance is not just breadth-first search. The interesting packaging story is a small, carefully maintained C utility earning broad distro adoption by being faster to understand than find, stricter about warning users when expressions are probably wrong, and portable enough to ship across Linux and macOS ecosystems.
