$1$2findopenfindopenfindopenfindopenfindopenfindopenfindopenfindopen returns a handle to a fastfind stream for the ksh file pattern pattern. $1$2findnextfindnextfindnextfindnextfindnextfindnextfindnextfindnext returns the next pathname that matches the pattern specified by handle. $1$2findnextfindnextfindnextfindnextfindnextfindnextfindnextfindnext returns $1$200000000 when no more pathnames match the pattern.
