EOS find comand

Was there a reason for the output change that was made to the EOS find command at some point?

Lots of folks here use the output in scripts and at some point, there was a path= inserted into the output for directories. This breaks all their scripts and they aren’t very happy about it.

Example:

# eos root://cmseos.fnal.gov find --xurl -d /store/user/pedrok
root://cmseos.fnal.gov/path=/eos/uscms/store/user/pedrok/

What could that possibly be used for?

Also:

# eos find /eos/uscms/store/user/dszkola
/eos/uscms/store/user/dszkola/.bash_history
/eos/uscms/store/user/dszkola/.eos_history
/eos/uscms/store/user/dszkola/.eos_pwd
/eos/uscms/store/user/dszkola/Skype_7.58.501.dmg
/eos/uscms/store/user/dszkola/mybashrc
/eos/uscms/store/user/dszkola/myhost.yaml
/eos/uscms/store/user/dszkola/sample.txt
/eos/uscms/store/user/dszkola/tmp.eosd
path=/eos/uscms/store/user/dszkola/
path=/eos/uscms/store/user/dszkola/mydir1/
path=/eos/uscms/store/user/dszkola/mydir2/
