The third sentence of the description of the -P option in the man page
for 'find' starts:
"When find examines or prints information a file..."
But I think it should be:
"When find examines or prints information about a file..."
This error is present in the version of the man page at
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/find.1.html

Hello Matthew,
Bugs in the find(1) manual page need to be reported to the location shown in:
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/find.1.html#COLOPHON
Thanks,
Michael
