Summary: Misleading statement, I believe Group: findutils Submitter: None Submitted: Fri 09 Feb 2024 08:12:46 PM UTC Category: documentation Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Release: None Discussion Lock: Any Fixed Release: None _______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comments: ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri 09 Feb 2024 08:12:46 PM UTC By: Anonymous "The differences are that the locate information might be out of date, and that locate handles wildcards in the pattern slightly differently than find (see Shell Pattern Matching)." https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/findutils.git/tree/doc/find.texi#n651 I checked the section Shell Pattern Matching and I absolutely see no difference among locate and find. Maybe the writer thinks to locate pattern where pattern does not contain wildcards, but this has already been explained just above line 651. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?65283> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
