A NOTE has been added to this issue. ====================================================================== https://www.opencsw.org/mantis/view.php?id=4682 ====================================================================== Reported By: flod Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: findutils Issue ID: 4682 Category: regular use Reproducibility: always Severity: major Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2011-02-01 22:52 CET Last Modified: 2011-05-26 01:42 CEST ====================================================================== Summary: -executable option not working Description: The "-executable" option is meant to select executable files and searchable directories. The option does not work with 4.4.2,REV=2009.06.08 as expected. I cross-checked the results I hoped for under my Linux installation.
The man page says that the difference between -perm and -executable is that the latter takes more complex things into account like acls. So the option would be useful but does not work as expected. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0009082) jay (reporter) - 2011-05-26 01:42 https://www.opencsw.org/mantis/view.php?id=4682#c9082 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- So, find is behaving correctly and as documented. This is not a findutils bug. You might want to find out why access(2) indicates that a file is executable when an actual attempt to execute it will fail. _______________________________________________ bug-notifications mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-notifications
