find(1) man page improvement

[Dan Jacobson]

On the find(1) man page, you probably want to change the wording of this:
   TESTS
       Numeric arguments can be specified as

       +n     for greater than n,

       -n     for less than n,

       n      for exactly n.
to say: Numeric arguments (called "n", below) can be actually be
specified as...

==========
also, without examples, even a black belt unix expert might feel
nervous with the wording below,

       -perm mode
              File's  permission  bits are exactly mode (octal or
              symbolic).  Symbolic modes use mode 0 as a point of
              departure.

       -perm -mode
              All  of  the  permission  bits mode are set for the
              file.

       -perm +mode
              Any of the permission bits mode  are  set  for  the
              file.

I didn't check the Info page.
Ok, I did, and
 - Test: -perm MODE
     True if the file's permissions are exactly MODE (which can be
     numeric or symbolic).  Symbolic modes use mode 0 as a point of
     departure.  If MODE starts with `-', true if *all* of the
     permissions set in MODE are set for the file; permissions not set
     in MODE are ignored.  If MODE starts with `+', true if *any* of
     the permissions set in MODE are set for the file; permissions not
     set in MODE are ignored.

Mmmmmmmmmmm deep.  Ah, grasshopper, you do not grasp the crux of the
biscuit.  You are for not to be one of the chosen ones of the karmal
spiral.

Anyways. if the ClubUnix resort is truly open membership, then you
need lots of examples.  Me?  No prob.  Butter.  I'm just thinking of
the underprivileged kids trying to understand all this.
