@ page 2901 line 26964 section pax editorial {none}

Problem:

Edition of Specification (Year): 2003 

Defect code :  3. Clarification required

The -c option for pax should reverse the results of a pattern match.
However it is not mentioned what should count as match.

Rationale: The -n option limits the number of matches for a specific
pattern to one. If you like to implement this, you need to know what
counts as match.

If the fact that the pattern matcher got a match counts as match,
then -c would result in the first file that matches being omited
from the output if -c -n is used.

If the fact that the pattern matcher did not match (inverted match)
counts as match, then -c would result in the first file that does
not match being the only file to be included in the outout.

Action:

Decide on the expected behavior and clear up the text.
