How can I find all files with some extended ACLs set, i.e. those with a little + at the end of the permission flags shown by ls -l.

I could not find a corresponding flag for find. My naive approach would be a find combined with ls -l and a grep. But I don't think this is nice.

Does someone have an idea?

getfacl can dump ACLs recursively, and it has a --skip-base option for ignoring files without ACLs.

getfacl -R -s -p /directory | sed -n 's/^# file: //p'
