Base Name Patterns
------------------

 - Test: -name pattern
 - Test: -iname pattern
     True if the base of the file name (the path with the leading
     directories removed) matches shell pattern PATTERN.  For `-iname',
     the match is case-insensitive.  To ignore a whole directory tree,
     use `-prune' (Note: Directories).  As an example, to find Texinfo
     source files in `/usr/local/doc':

          find /usr/local/doc -name '*.texi'
