$ umask 0022 $ touch file $ chmod +w file $ find file -perm -+w file GNU find behaves differently (https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58654): $ umask 0002 $ touch file $ chmod +w $ find file -perm -+w GNU find treats = and + as equivalent, while BSD find doesn't (which is IMO more useful). Desired Action: Clarify the behavior of find(1) -perm with respect to the - and + operators. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2020-08-14 12:55 mohd_akram New Issue 2020-08-14 12:55 mohd_akram Name => Mohamed Akram 2020-08-14 12:55 mohd_akram Section => find 2020-08-14 12:55 mohd_akram Page Number => 2797 2020-08-14 12:55 mohd_akram Line Number => 91951-91956 ======================================================================
