find -ctime
I know that find -ctime +1 will find ALL files that have been modified
that are greater than 1 day old and -ctime 1 will find files that are
ONLY 1 day old -ctime -1 mean files that are less than a day old?
Can find actually use this granularity?

Unix keeps 3 timestamps for each file: mtime, ctime, and atime. Most people seem to understand atime (access time), it is when the file was last read. There does seem to be some confusion between mtime and ctime though. ctime is the inode change time while mtime is the file modification time. ... (2 Replies)

Have you tried running the command below? On the same RHEl 6.8 or 6.6. It will give you different output.

pmctime
PMCTIME(3) Library Functions Manual PMCTIME(3)
NAME
pmCtime - format the date and time for a reporting timezone
C SYNOPSIS
#include <time.h>
#include <pcp/pmapi.h>
char *pmCtime(const time_t *clock, char *buf);
cc ... -lpcp
DESCRIPTION
pmCtime is very similar to ctime(3), except the timezone used is the current ``reporting timezone'' (rather than the default TZ environment
variable scheme), and the result is returned into a caller-declared buffer (rather than a private buffer).
Like ctime(3) the time to be converted is passed via clock, and the result in buf is fixed width fields in the format:
Fri Sep 13 00:00:00 1986
The result buffer buf must be at least 26 bytes long, and no attempt is made to check this. pmCtime returns buf as the value of the func-
tion.
The default current reporting timezone is as defined by the TZ environment variable, so pmCtime and ctime(3) will initially produce similar
encoding of the date and time.
Use pmNewZone(3), pmNewContextZone(3) or pmUseZone(3) to establish a new current reporting timezone that will effect pmCtime but not
ctime(3).
