 8.6 Environment Variables
 =========================
 
 'LANG'
      Provides a default value for the internationalisation variables
      that are unset or null.
 
 'LC_ALL'
      If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the
      other internationalisation variables.
 
 'LC_COLLATE'
      The POSIX standard specifies that this variable affects the pattern
      matching to be used for the '\-name' option.  GNU find uses the GNU
      version of the 'fnmatch' library function.
 
      This variable also affects the interpretation of the response to
      '-ok'; while the 'LC_MESSAGES' variable selects the actual pattern
      used to interpret the response to '-ok', the interpretation of any
      bracket expressions in the pattern will be affected by the
      'LC_COLLATE' variable.
 
 'LC_CTYPE'
      This variable affects the treatment of character classes used in
      regular expression and with the '-name' test, if the 'fnmatch'
      function supports this.
 
      This variable also affects the interpretation of any character
      classes in the regular expressions used to interpret the response
      to the prompt issued by '-ok'.  The 'LC_CTYPE' environment variable
      will also affect which characters are considered to be unprintable
      when filenames are printed (⇒Unusual Characters in File
      Names).
 
 'LC_MESSAGES'
      Determines the locale to be used for internationalised messages,
      including the interpretation of the response to the prompt made by
      the '-ok' action.
 
 'NLSPATH'
      Determines the location of the internationalisation message
      catalogues.
 
 'PATH'
      Affects the directories which are searched to find the executables
      invoked by '-exec', '-execdir' '-ok' and '-okdir'.  If the PATH
      environment variable includes the current directory (by explicitly
      including '.' or by having an empty element), and the find command
      line includes '-execdir' or '-okdir', 'find' will refuse to run.
      ⇒Security Considerations, for a more detailed discussion of
      security matters.
 
 'POSIXLY_CORRECT'
      Determines the block size used by '-ls' and '-fls'.  If
      'POSIXLY_CORRECT' is set, blocks are units of 512 bytes.  Otherwise
      they are units of 1024 bytes.
 
      Setting this variable also turns off warning messages (that is,
      implies '-nowarn') by default, because POSIX requires that apart
      from the output for '-ok', all messages printed on stderr are
      diagnostics and must result in a non-zero exit status.
 
      When 'POSIXLY_CORRECT' is set, the response to the prompt made by
      the '-ok' action is interpreted according to the system's message
      catalogue, as opposed to according to 'find''s own message
      translations.
 
 'TZ'
      Affects the time zone used for some of the time-related format
      directives of '-printf' and '-fprintf'.
