All options in find which take a numeric argument, work like this:
+n - more than n
n - exactly n
-n - less than n
(size, ctime/mtime/links/ etc)
There is NO numeric argument except when a particular object is identified
(inum, group, user, etc)
So I believe that the proper option would have been "filedepth" (depth was
already taken)
file -filedepth n (same as "find -maxdepth n -mindepth n")
file -filedepth -n (same as "find -maxdepth n-1")
file -filedepth +n (same as "find -mindepth n+1")
