1 The list of debug options should be comma separated. Compatibility
1 of the debug options is not guaranteed between releases of findutils.
1 For a complete list of valid debug options, see the output of 'find -D
1 help'. Valid debug options include:
1 'help'

1 'tree'
1 Show the expression tree in its original and optimised form.
