Package: findutils
Version: 4.8.0-1
Severity: minor
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
The man page for "find" starts the reference definition "-delete" as,
Delete files; true if removal succeeded.
The upstream GNU documentation at
https://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/manual/html_node/find_html/Delete-Files.html
states,
Delete files or directories; true if removal succeeded.
The missing two words "or directories" are important and should be
included in the man page. Otherwise the implication is that `-delete`
can only delete files, and not directories.
GNU saying that it only supports its info system and that man pages are
incomplete is one thing. Having an out-of-date or misleading man page
is another.
Please consider amending the documentation (man page) for "-delete"
so that it is closer to, or the same as, the GNU original.
Thanks
