Follow-up Comment #3, bug #52558 (project findutils): Yes, in case of -L option the behavior conforms the documentation. I just said that it seems not so useful (and maybe unexpected without careful investigation of the documentation).
But what about -follow option that is after -print and after -type test? For me, in such case the behavior of -print and -type contradicts the documentation. "The -daystart, -follow and -regextype options are different in this respect, and have an effect only on tests which appear later in the command line" But currently -follow option has effect on the -type and -print which appear before it in the command line! Certainly one can say that "-print" is not a test, but an action. Actually, it doesn't matter. General respect for the position of -follow option (for actions as well as for tests) is desirable behavior that doesn't contradict the documentation and conforms the spirit and idea of the positional options. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?52558> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
