find -mtime off by one day?

If I use the find command to find files older than n days I have to enter find . -mtime +(n-1). I tried this on a Solaris 9 system and also Linux. Is this something that all Unix veterans know about (I'm new to Unix)? If so, maybe my man pages need to be updated (how to do this?). :confused: (4 Replies)

NAME
getnetgrent(), setnetgrent(), endnetgrent(), innetgr(), - get network group entry SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
These functions are used to test membership in and enumerate members of ``netgroup'' network groups defined in a system database. Net- groups are sets of (machine,user,domain) triples (see netgroup(4)). These functions consult the source specified for in the file (see nsswitch.conf(4)). The function returns if there is a netgroup netgroup that contains the specified machine, user, domain triple as a member; otherwise it returns Any of the supplied pointers machine, user, and domain may be signifying a ``wild card'' that matches all values in that position of the triple. The function is safe for use in multithreaded applications. The functions and are used to enumerate the members of a given network group. The function establishes the network group specified in the parameter netgroup as the current group whose members are to be enumerated. Successive calls to the function will enumerate the members of the group established by calling each call returns 1 if it succeeds in obtaining another member of the network group, or 0 if there are no further members of the group. When calling addresses of the three character pointers are used as arguments; i.e.: Upon successful return from the pointer mp points to a thread specific storage area containing the name of the machine part of the member triple, up points to a thread specific storage area containing the user name and dp points to a thread specific storage area containing the domain name. If the pointer returned for mp, up, or dp is it signifies that the element of the netgroup contains wild card specifier in that position of the triple. The storage allocated by is released when an call is made, and should not be released by the caller. The function frees the space allocated by the previous call. The equivalent of an implicitly performed whenever a call is made to a new network group. Note that while and are safe for use in multi-threaded applications, the effect of each is process-wide. Calling resets the enumeration position for all threads. If multiple threads interleave calls to each will enumerate a disjoint subset of the netgroup. Thus the effec- tive use of these functions in multi-threaded applications may require coordination by the caller. MULTITHREAD USAGE
Thread Safe: Yes Cancel Safe: Yes Fork Safe: No Async-cancel Safe: No Async-signal Safe: No These functions can be called safely in a multithreaded environment. They may be cancellation points in that they call functions that are cancel points. In a multithreaded environment, these functions are not safe to be called by a child process after and before These functions should not be called by a multithreaded application that support asynchronous cancellation or asynchronous signals. WARNINGS
Programs that use the interfaces described in this manual page cannot be linked statically since the implementations of these functions employ dynamic loading and linking of shared objects at run time. FILES
