Follow-up Comment #17, bug #12162 (project findutils):
I ran into this bug today. Having read the comments, may I make a suggestion:
Add a -filesize option, which works the way everyone clearly expects.
-filesize n[bkMGTP]
File uses n bytes of space. The following suffixes can be used:
'b' for bytes
'k' for Kilobytes (1024 bytes)
'M' for Megabytes (1048576 bytes)
'G' for Gigabytes (1073741824 bytes)
'T' for Terabytes (...)
'P' for Petabytes (...)
For bonus points: add -blocksize, alias -size to -blocksize (so people
reading the manpage can tell the difference between the two easily), and
change the wording for the help -blocksize to refer to blocks to make it
obvious that people don't want to do that when they want -filesize.
This preserves backward compatibility, while making 'find' a whole bunch more
useful.
