Nope; "find . -ls -ls" will print every filename twice. You might
want to list every filename for logging purposes, then do some other
processing (-delete maybe, or something called via -exec) on certain
other conditions. More manpage pasting:
-ls This primary always evaluates to true. The following
information for the current file is written to standard
output: its inode number, size in 512-byte blocks, file
permissions, number of hard links, owner, group, size in
bytes, last modification time, and pathname.
