Hello,

My name is Abhishek Kumar, and I am a new contributor interested in GNU
Findutils and planning to participate in Google Summer of Code.

While reading the documentation, I noticed that the %G format directive did
not include a usage example. I have added a small example to improve
clarity for users.

I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions for improvement.

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,
Abhishek Kumar
