From c4a8446c7087ce1502e0df5214ab1e61f168a098 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rodrigo Silva (MestreLion)" Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2012 10:01:19 -0300 Subject: docs: clarify -z/--time-cond with filename (mention mtime) Original wording could lead users in thinking it tries to somehow parse the filename for a date expression (like news_2012_03_05.html). It never mentions that it actually reads the mtime of the file in filesystem. --- docs/curl.1 | 12 ++++++------ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) (limited to 'docs') diff --git a/docs/curl.1 b/docs/curl.1 index 995f5de53..486ef4b15 100644 --- a/docs/curl.1 +++ b/docs/curl.1 @@ -1628,12 +1628,12 @@ speed-time seconds it gets aborted. speed-time is set with -y and is 30 if not set.
