查找 - mtime 与 mmin - 奇怪的结果

Question

所以我正在编写一个 bash 脚本来清除临时文件并 运行 进入莫名其妙的行为。

# Find using mmin flag
find /usr/local/store/file/temp/3_day/ -mmin +$((60*24*3)) -type f > /tmp/old_files_by_mmin.txt

# Find using mtime flag
find /usr/local/store/file/temp/3_day/ -mtime +3 -type f > /tmp/old_files_by_mtime.txt

diff -u /tmp/old_files_by_mmin.txt /tmp/old_files_by_mtime.txt

前几行：

为什么 -mmin 标志选择了 mtime 标志没有选择的文件？如果两者都应该找到早于现在 + 3 天的任何文件？

Answer 1

考虑到实现之间的区别，what the POSIX standard for find 指令值得一看：

-mtime n

The primary shall evaluate as true if the file modification time subtracted from the initialization time, divided by 86400 (with any remainder discarded), is n.

---

同样，根据手册（对于 BSD 查找）：

-mtime n[smhdw]

If no units are specified, this primary evaluates to true if the difference between the file last modification time and the time find was started, rounded up to the next full 24-hour period, is n 24-hour periods.

...因此：在 BSD find 中，默认行为是舍入到完整的 24 小时周期。

---

对于 GNU find，有一定程度的可配置性；见 -daystart:

-daystart

Measure times (for -amin, -atime, -cmin, -ctime, -mmin, and -mtime) from the beginning of today rather than from 24 hours ago. This option only affects tests which appear later on the command line.

但是，默认行为在 -atime 的定义中给出：

-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.
