New Revision: 197363
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/197363

Log:
  Update find(1) man page for -L/-delete interaction.
  
  It is a bit unfortunate that the example to delete broken symlinks now uses
  rm(1), but allowing this with -delete would require fixing fts(3) to not
  imply FTS_NOCHDIR if FTS_LOGICAL is given (or hacks in the -delete option).
