https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D254894 Bug ID: 254894 Summary: find(1): meaning of -newerXt (-newerXY with Y=3Dt) is behind layers of indirection, not installed Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Manual Pages Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: danielsh@apache.org CC: doc@FreeBSD.org Quoting find(1): https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/usr.bin/find/find.1?revision=3D360074&= view=3Dmarkup#l644 > In addition, if > .Ar Y Ns =3D Ns Cm t , > then > .Ar file > is instead interpreted as a direct date specification of the form > understood by > .Xr cvs 1 . Now, I didn't even have cvs(1) installed, but opening https://man.freebsd.org/cvs and going to the third match for "date" told me that "1 hour ago" was one valid syntax, and beyond that, said just: > For a complete description of the date formats accepted by cvs, see node > `Date input formats' in the CVS manual. I followed the link at the bottom of the manpage to the CVS homepage. I followed the link in the top nav bar to "Documentation". I followed the link to the manual. I followed the link to the "HTML - with one web page per node" version of t= he manual. There wasn't a table of contents entry called "Date input formats", nor suc= h an entry in the index. I went through the matches for "date" in the table of contents, and tried <https://www.gnu.org/software/trans-coord/manual/cvs/html_node/Tagging-by-d= ate_002ftag.html#Tagging-by-date_002ftag>. I followed the link to "Common options", https://www.gnu.org/software/trans-coord/manual/cvs/html_node/Common-option= s.html#Common-options. That finally told me that the supported input formats are ISO8601 and RFC82= 2. Could that information please be placed behind fewer layers of indirection?= =20 Ideally, in the find(1) man page itself? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
