I believe this is documented at the end of the PRIMARIES section:
All primaries which take a numeric argument allow the number to be pre-
ceded by a plus sign (``+'') or a minus sign (``-''). A preceding plus
sign means ``more than n'', a preceding minus sign means ``less than n''
and neither means ``exactly n''.
Is this what you are referring to?

State Changed From-To: open->feedback Feedback requested. Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-doc->gjb Feedback requested. State Changed From-To: feedback->analyzed Feedback received. I asked the submitter: I believe this is documented at the end of the PRIMARIES section: to which I received a response via private email: Yes. Your right. That is what I was looking for. Thanks. Most other man pages put it at the top. I guess its not a big deal, but people do have trouble finding it way down there. I'll take a look at moving this more toward the top of the section.
