Description Ivana Varekova 2010-12-03 15:15:14 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #657563 +++

Manual page for find needs review and at least one minor correction. Following example from the manual does not work out-of-the-box:
<current>
       find / \
       \( -perm -4000 -fprintf /root/suid.txt %#m %u %p\n \) , \
       \( -size +100M -fprintf /root/big.txt %-10s %p\n \)
</current>

until you add apostrophe around print arguments as it is in RHEL 5 man pages:
<proposed>
       find / \
       \( -perm -4000 -fprintf /root/suid.txt '%#m %u %p\n' \) , \
       \( -size +100M -fprintf /root/big.txt '%-10s %p\n' \)
</proposed>

We can expect other similar typos around, so it should be checked. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
findutils-4.4.2-6.el6
