[bug #14991] mtime documented incorrect or bug?

[David Huffman]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #14991 (project findutils):

Why this change was made is beyond me, but I noticed that other UNIX does not
work this way, however are starting to impletment this due to IEEE Std 1003.1,
specs.

-mtime  n 
The primary shall evaluate as true if the file modification time subtracted
from the initialization time, divided by 86400 (with any remainder
discarded), is n.

+n 
More than n. 
n 
Exactly n. 
-n 
Less than n. 

So according to this, there is no bug. Just not very intuitive. More than
nothing (+0) is never a good idea in my book. Thanks for the clarification.
