find命令的结果顺序

1. 目的

在研读 doxygen 源码时， 在不同电脑、不同操作系统上使用了 find 命令， 发现对于相同的 doxygen 源码目录、相同的 find 命令参数， 得到了不同顺序的结果。尝试了解下 find 命令的参数， 希望得到统一一致的结果， 对不同结果的原因稍作分析。

简单的结论: find . -maxdepth 1 -type d 这样的命令后， 接入管道和 sort -V 得到自然排序结果:

find . -maxdepth 1 -type d | sort -V

2. 准备： 克隆 doxygen 源码

git clone https://gitee.com/mirrors/doxygen
git checkout 79a9efb

* 79a9efb 2023-05-18 | Merge pull request #10052 from albert-github/feature/bug_regr_ca65fd0bbb717a3f65e64bfcebe36a5debba66fa (grafted, HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) [Dimitri van Heesch]

我们希望用 find 命令， 打印出 doxygen 目录下的第一级子目录。

6. 三路比较

7. 保持一样的结果： 用自然排序

传入 | sort -V 参数即可:

find . -maxdepth 1 -type d | sort -V

(base) zz@localhost% find . -maxdepth 1 -type d | sort -V
