Bug ID: 254894
Summary: find(1): meaning of -newerXt (-newerXY with Y=t) is
behind layers of indirection, not installed
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: Manual Pages
Assignee: [email protected]

Quoting find(1):
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/usr.bin/find/find.1?revision=360074&view=markup#l644
> In addition, if
> .Ar Y Ns = Ns Cm t ,
> then
> .Ar file

> understood by
> .Xr cvs 1 .
Now, I didn't even have cvs(1) installed, but opening
https://man.freebsd.org/cvs and going to the third match for "date" told me
that "1 hour ago" was one valid syntax, and beyond that, said just:
> For a complete description of the date formats accepted by cvs, see node
> `Date input formats' in the CVS manual.
I followed the link at the bottom of the manpage to the CVS homepage.
I followed the link in the top nav bar to "Documentation".
I followed the link to the manual.
I followed the link to the "HTML - with one web page per node" version of the
manual.
There wasn't a table of contents entry called "Date input formats", nor such an
entry in the index.
I went through the matches for "date" in the table of contents, and tried
<https://www.gnu.org/software/trans-coord/manual/cvs/html_node/Tagging-by-date_002ftag.html#Tagging-by-date_002ftag>.
I followed the link to "Common options",
https://www.gnu.org/software/trans-coord/manual/cvs/html_node/Common-options.html#Common-options.
That finally told me that the supported input formats are ISO8601 and RFC822.
Could that information please be placed behind fewer layers of indirection?
Ideally, in the find(1) man page itself?
