Is there a difference between using find with "-name" option and using wilcards when pointing the directory?
Issue
Using the following syntax of find:
find /directory/file* -exec ......
Gives different results than:
find /directory -name "file*" -exec ....
Why does this happen? What is the difference between the two syntax?
