as documented on 5.4-RELEASE, there's a divergence between
man 1 find and the command itself and the option "-x" a.k.a. "-xdev".
although "-xdev" is "deprecated", it's the only working one ;-)
$ man 1 find
<...snip...>
-x Prevent find from descending into directories that have a
device
number different than that of the file from which the descent
began.
This option is equivalent to the deprecated -xdev primary.
<...snip...>
$ find . -x
find: -x: unknown option
$ find . -xdev
<...works...>
$ uname -a
