[bug #57025] find -mtime will ignore large files

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #57025 (project findutils):

Ok, I believed it's my fault...

Quote from man page:
*-atime n*
              File  was  last  accessed  n*24  hours  ago.   When find figures
out how many 24-hour periods ago the file was last
              accessed, any fractional part is ignored, so to match -atime +1,
a file has to have been accessed at least two days
              ago.

*-mtime n*
              File's data was last modified n*24 hours ago.  See the comments
for -atime to understand how rounding  affects  the
              interpretation of file modification times.

So is that means:
*"+n" >> n* n*24 hours beyond (not include n*24)
*"n" == n* n*24 hours equal
*"-n" << n* n*24 hours within (not include n*24)

I believe the man page doc could be more enriched.
Thanks a lot!
