Compatibility notes

We prefer to be more compatible rather than system-specific.

  • To delete files, we prefer -exec rm vs. -delete. The former is more compatible, the latter is faster.

  • To regex match, we prefer patterns to be basic vs. extended. The former is more compatible, the latter is more modern.

  • We prefer POSIX code vs. shell-specific code.

  • We prefer the code to be more DAMP than DRY. For example, the code has separate name matching for .bz and .bz2, even though we could combine these.
