Compare bfs with alternatives
bfs vs GNU findutils
The GNU command-line tools for finding files: find, locate, updatedb and xargs.
bfs vs fd
fd replaces find's syntax with short arguments, respects gitignore, runs in parallel and has Windows builds, but does not aim to cover all of find's features.
bfs vs fselect
fselect uses a SQL-like query syntax instead of find expressions and runs on Windows too, but is not a complete replacement for find.
bfs vs uutils findutils
A Rust implementation of GNU findutils, providing find, xargs, locate and updatedb.
bfs vs plocate
plocate searches a prebuilt index for instant name lookups on Linux, so results are only as fresh as the last index update, unlike bfs's live traversal.
