Follow-up Comment #10, bug #57025 (project findutils):

Thanks for the fix.

I have findutils~4.7.0+git20201010-2 on my Debian Bullseye, and in the
manpage, I see this:

    -amin n
          File was last accessed less than, more than or exactly n minutes
ago.

This seems a bit confusing when given only the syntax "-amin n". Note that
-amin is quite close to the text regarding numeric arguments, but other
options are much farther (-size). 

One may argue that searching for '-amin' or '-size', we always scan through
that text regarding the numeric arguments. I see however that the proposal
below was also to change "-amin n" into "-amin -n|+n|n", which I think would
be uber great (something like "-amin [-+]n" would also be ok).
