https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=254894 Bug ID: 254894 Summary: find(1): meaning of -newerXt (-newerXY with Y=t) 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=360074&view=markup#l644 > In addition, if > .Ar Y Ns = 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 the manual. There wasn't a table of contents entry called "Date input formats", nor such 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-date_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-options.html#Common-options. That finally told me that the supported input formats are ISO8601 and RFC822. Could that information please be placed behind fewer layers of indirection? Ideally, in the find(1) man page itself? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.home | help
