The man page size "File uses n units of space"; the suffixes change the units, but it is still an integer (rounded-up) value. If you read the Single Unix Specification spec for find, it makes it clear that the -size option is rounded up to the blocksize (although suffixes other than "c" are not in the standard). The info page says this better: True if the file uses N units of space, rounding up. The units are 512-byte blocks by default, but they can be changed by adding a one-character suffix to N: You are always specifying a unit size, and "-1" (less than 1) of any unit can only be 0. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
