Just a curiosity question - see title.
w@w-desktop:~$ tree -n --prune -P '*.pro' -- /
w@w-desktop:~$ uname -a
Linux w-desktop 5.8.0-44-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 9 06:29:41 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
w@w-desktop:~$
4 core cpu about 30% usage of all
8 GB memory about 20% used
nothing else running
After about 5 minutes - still no output
"yes Santa Clause , they do exists ..." - I triple checked this time !
