Hi, all,
the find(1) manpage looks really good.
This is rather important, since that utility is not the easiest one
to understand and to use.
Some minor details which might be fixed:
EXPRESSIONS
-nouser
-nogroup
( -context ... non-standard extension, okay with me )
not in alphabetical order.
Same goes for
-ok
-print
-okdir
...
-ls
-execdir
"This *IS* a much more secure method"
STANDARDS CONFORMANCE
-name:
period instead of comma in list in ().
Identical under HISTORY.
Other predicates:
"The POSIX standard requires that<very hard break>
The find utility shall detect ..."
Something is wrong wiith this sentence.
-perm /mode
even lower importance ...
a hyphen might be inserted before the name 'perm'
"... with the behaviour of perm -000"
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
NLSPATH
"internationalisation"
actually spelled with 'z', "internationalization"
(see LANG,LC_ALL above; that's why I18N has been invented).
LC_MESSAGES internationali*s*ed?
Splitting my last hairs now,
"use of the -exec option"
is actually an "action"
(several times; mostly called 'action', should be consistent).
I've seen those on manpages and
found them also e.g. at http://linux.die.net/man/1/find
but I'm not sure who is maintaining the genuine text
and who is copying from other resources.
Greetings
Sven
