Version: 4.4.0-2
Severity: minor
>From find(1), regarding the -perm /mode option: "If no permission bits in
mode are set, this test currently matches no files. However, it will soon be
changed to match any file (the idea is to be more consistent with the
behaviour of -perm -000)."
That doesn't seem to be true anymore; the change has already been
made. I believe https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?14748 has
information regarding that. The man page doesn't seem to have been updated.
(Never mind that this behavior is not, in fact, more consistent from a
mathematical perspective. But oh well.)
