  • [x] I have read the troubleshooting section and still think this is a bug.

Describe the bug you encountered:

-p, --full-path Search full abs. path (default: filename only)

Describe what you expected to happen:

-p, --full-path Search full path (default: the last element of the path)

NOTES:

  1. "full" and "absolute" are the same terms.
  2. no reason to say "file or directory name" (like it is done in man page) either. "the last element of the path" clearly describes what it does.

What version of fd are you using?

10.2.0

Which operating system / distribution are you on?

Windows: 26100.3194

What text do you think would be more clear?

Exactly what I mentioned in the original report: -p, --full-path Search full path (default: the last element of the path)
