An explicit statement should be added about the processing order for operands of the other type (the <i>path</i> operands).
Desired Action: On page 2941 line 98187 section find, after:<blockquote>Each <i>path</i> operand is a pathname of a starting point in the file hierarchy.</blockquote>append a sentence:<blockquote>The <i>path</i> operands shall be processed in the order specified in the command line.</blockquote> ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2024-09-30 14:34 geoffclare New Issue 2024-09-30 14:34 geoffclare Name => Geoff Clare 2024-09-30 14:34 geoffclare Organization => The Open Group 2024-09-30 14:34 geoffclare Section => find 2024-09-30 14:34 geoffclare Page Number => 2941 2024-09-30 14:34 geoffclare Line Number => 98187 2024-09-30 14:34 geoffclare Interp Status => --- ======================================================================
