Re: [PATCH] find: -anewer: compare atime with reference file's atime, not mtime

Hi Weixie,

thanks for the patch and sorry for the delay.

what makes you think that this would be incorrect?

The manpage states:

   -anewer reference
      Like -newer, but test if the time of the last access of the current =
file is more
      recent than that of the last data modification of the reference file=
.

and the Texinfo manual is even more clear:

   [...] As such, =E2=80=98-anewer=E2=80=99 is equivalent to =E2=80=98-new=
eram=E2=80=99, =E2=80=98-cnewer=E2=80=99 to =E2=80=98-newercm=E2=80=99,
   and =E2=80=98-newer=E2=80=99 to =E2=80=98-newermm=E2=80=99.

Therefore, I think the behavior is correct and as documented.

Have a nice day,
Berny
