See the patch below.
It seems the find(1) man page
favours arguments of the form -cmin [-|+]n
over -cmin -n | +n | n.
So I made my patch accordingly.
With the patch the page now renders as:
-amin [-|+]n
Find files last accessed more than n (+n), less than n (-n), or
exactly n minutes ago.
-cmin [-|+]n
Find files last changed more than n (+n), less than n (-n), or
exactly n minutes ago.
-mmin [-|+]n
Find files last modified more than n (+n), less than n (-n), or
exactly n minutes ago.
