See below a bug reported against the glibc. Since the glibc maintainer dodged that one, I assume the bug indeed is in the documentation of ftw(3). My manpages are the 3.24-1 Debian package. IMHO the patch is: -fpath is the pathname of the entry relative to dirpath. +fpath is the pathname of the entry relative to the current working directory. POSIX is very vague about what "fpath" should be btw.
