Public bug reported:

The -makeresultsfile does not work:

$ rdfind -n -makeresultsfile dir1 dir2
expected true or false, not "-makeresultsfile"

$ rdfind -n -makeresultsfile true dir1 dir2
expected true or false, not "-makeresultsfile"

$ rdfind -n "-makeresultsfile true" dir1 dir2
expected true or false, not "-makeresultsfile true"


This is unacceptable.  Unix command-line programs typically take options 
denoted by -<option> or -<option> <option flag>  however for the rdfind command 
the makeresultsfile option clearly does not work.  If for some odd reason this 
is actually the intended behavior of then it should be indicated in the man 
page!
