---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0004929) joerg (reporter) - 2020-08-19 10:32 https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1392#c4929 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Given that the find man page points to chmod(1) and that it explicitly mentions '=' to differ somehow from '+', I see this as a hint that -perm must behave similar to chmod(1) which includes the file creation mask. BTW: When I wrote my parser in July 2004 for libfind, I did not check existing find implementations but only the POSIX standard. The background for writing libfindhas been the missing usability of gfind and find from Solaris at that time. So the behavior of libfind is just a consequence of following the standard and what is expected for orthogonal behavior. Regardless of the way you interpret this, we seem to basically agree that the libfind/BSD behavior is the right way to go for the future. P.S. The Solaris implementation behaves the same as gfind for this detail, but I am happy to change this.
