the rules of find -cmin 0 and -ctime 0

565 views Asked by At

I was studying the command find, and I saw:

-cmin n
              File's status was last changed n minutes ago.
-ctime n
              File's status was last changed n*24 hours ago.

but when n is zero, comes the difference, is there a sound explanation for this behavior?
