Description Axel Thimm 2005-12-10 23:48:35 UTC
Description of problem:
find's man page assumes that you can use M and G suffixes to the -size argument
which is not true.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
findutils-4.1.20-7

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.find . -size 1M
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
find: invalid -size type `M'


Expected results:
Either a search output or no mention of M and G in the man page.

Additional info:
Not an issue with Fedora Core (findutils-4.2.20-1), there find . -size 1M works.

Probably just an overzealous documentation?
