It should be standard in linux man pages, can't speak for other unices: TESTS Numeric arguments can be specified as +n for greater than n, -n for less than n, n for exactly n. Maybe you were fooled because it's not directly under the description of -size. > I suppose the -maxdepth is > redundant since I think find searches breadth-first by default. ??? maxdepth determines how deep the search will look, not the order the search occurs. Your search only find things within 3 levels of the root, unless your directory tree goes no deeper than that (very unlikely) the maxdepth can't be redundant. -- Edward Elliott UC Berkeley School of Law (Boalt Hall) complangpython at eddeye dot net -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
