The above text already refers to the `strftime` function. Are you proposing to change wording of the text somehow? (In reply to Kamil Dudka from comment #2) > Are you proposing to change wording of the text somehow? Yes, I would change the wording. The text says: > The possible values for k are listed below; some of them might not be available on all systems, due to differences in `strftime' between systems. This means, the parameters listed in the manpage of `find` are the only ones which are supported out of the whole list of available parameters in strftime. This is wrong. Better to say, "Below is an excerpt of possible values for k. For full list please refer to documentation of `strftime`* *typically I guess the manpage of strftime on different systems does only consist the list of supported values, so an exception of unsupported values can be left out. Does this make sense? Thanks! I have proposed a patch upstream: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-findutils/2020-10/msg00000.html Issue migration from Bugzilla to Jira is in process at this time. This will be the last message in Jira copied from the Bugzilla bug. This BZ has been automatically migrated to the issues.redhat.com Red Hat Issue Tracker. All future work related to this report will be managed there. Due to differences in account names between systems, some fields were not replicated. Be sure to add yourself to Jira issue's "Watchers" field to continue receiving updates and add others to the "Need Info From" field to continue requesting information. To find the migrated issue, look in the "Links" section for a direct link to the new issue location. The issue key will have an icon of 2 footprints next to it, and begin with "RHEL-" followed by an integer. You can also find this issue by visiting https://issues.redhat.com/issues/?jql= and searching the "Bugzilla Bug" field for this BZ's number, e.g. a search like: "Bugzilla Bug" = 1234567 In the event you have trouble locating or viewing this issue, you can file an issue by sending mail to rh-issues.
