[bug #51711] non-helping error output with find

[Bernhard Voelker]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #51711 (project findutils):

I pushed the commit with the NEWS entry fix:
https://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/findutils.git/commit/?id=a8fc03d98036

> I think the discussion missed a bit what I pointed on:
> -the non-helping error message

Improved with Assaf's and my commits:
https://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/findutils.git/commit/?id=9530e31f6d
https://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/findutils.git/commit/?id=50a7c5d1f5

> -the number of acceptable -name arguments

I tried to find a place both in find's manpage and the Texinfo
manual (in latest Git), but didn't find an ambiguous place where
I could read that -name would accept more than 1 argument.
Would you please point to the relevant place?

-the insufficient non-bug explananation in man find [...]
__________________^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
sorry, I don't understand what you mean by this.
Would you please point to a place there you think is not
sufficient (and suggest a better wording, ideally as a Git
patch)?

Thanks & have a nice day,
Berny
