Subject: /usr/share/man/man1/find.1.gz: Contradictory to the manual page, -size does count indirect blocks

Date: Mon, 18 Jun 2012 13:06:16 +0400

Package: findutils
Version: 4.4.2-4ubuntu1
Severity: minor
File: /usr/share/man/man1/find.1.gz

Hello,

$ man find | grep -m1 -A22 -- -size

The manual page find(1) states that -size does not count indirect blocks.
Were it true, it would be impossible to distiguish files >48K. Obviously,
-size does count indirect blocks.

The statement «the size does not count indirect blocks» is not clear enough
to understand what does it mean in reality. Please, reformulate it.
