Full Name Patterns
------------------

 - Test: -path pattern
 - Test: -ipath pattern
     True if the entire file name, starting with the command line
     argument under which the file was found, matches shell pattern
     PATTERN.  For `-ipath', the match is case-insensitive.  To ignore
     a whole directory tree, use `-prune' rather than checking every
     file in the tree (Note: Directories).

 - Test: -regex expr
 - Test: -iregex expr
     True if the entire file name matches regular expression EXPR.
     This is a match on the whole path, not a search.  For example, to
     match a file named `./fubar3', you can use the regular expression
     `.*bar.' or `.*b.*3', but not `b.*r3'.  Note: Syntax of Regular
     Expressions, for a description of the syntax of
     regular expressions.  For `-iregex', the match is case-insensitive.
