 with attribute [relop] value        When used with a wildcard
                                     directory-name, limits the
                                     output only to directories
                                     whose specified attributes have
                                     certain values.

                                     filename. If the file does not
                                     exist, this command creates
                                     it. If the file does exist, its
                                     contents are overwritten.
 to extend file[=]filename           Appends the output to an
                                     existing filename. If the file
                                     does not exist, it is created.
 to terminal                         Directs the output to the
                                     terminal. This is the default
                                     option.
