+1 except for the awful xargs invocation. Just find -name '*.la' -exec rm {} +

-
find -name '*.la' -delete, y'all
-
-delete is a GNUism IIRC?
-
good, non-gnu coreutils are unusable
-
Oh, Idk... I'd say GNU hello is quite unusable/unbuildable as well :P https://www.gnu.org/software/hello/

you are missing the point of GNU hello and/or being deliberately obtuse, stop

..i always forget about -exec. Is there any actually good use of xargs? :P
-
I think xargs would result in one fork per a few K files but -exec will result in one fork per file
-
That's legacy find without the + terminator, using ';' terminator. With + it's at least as efficient as xargs.
-
oh, I had no idea about +, through it was a typo. Thanks
-
It took a long time for ppl to learn + because GNU find failed to adopt it for about a decade after it was in POSIX..
