[PATCH] Describe which environment variables really control the interpretation of the response to -ok. |

The attached patch updates the findutils documentation to more
correctly explain the relationship between the environment and the
behaviour of rpmatch(). However, since I note that other
POSIX-defined tools should also heed LC_COLLATE (cp, for example) I'm
copying this to the gnulib mailing list.
gnulib folks, I see that rpmatch() seems to be insensitive to
LC_COLLATE; that is, it doesn't use nl_langinfo to discover YESEXPR
and NOEXPR. I guess this is a deliberate design choice. What's the
thinking behind it? At the moment, find follows gnulib and thus is
not (AIUI) POSIX compliant. Is there a reason I should avoid use of
nl_langinfo?
Thanks,
James.
