kre da39777e71 If chown and chgrp can grow -d flags to suppress performing the
operation when it will have no effect (other than changing the

flags for the same purpose.   Make it so.

apb 81b1fb1df7 In all man pages that say:
The -H, -L and -P options are ignored unless the -R option is
    specified.  In addition, these options override each other and the
    command's actions are determined by the last one specified.

Add:

    The default is as if the -P option had been specified.

enami 96d6ef202a Describe -h option and xref lchflags. 2000-08-04 08:08:02 +00:00
mrg a6f7a7855f implement lchflags(2), which does the chflags(2) dance without following
symlinks, and thus can operate on symlinks.  remove a bogus comment in
chflags(1) that claims symlinks do not have file flags.

XXX: todo -- make chflags(1) use lchflags(2) when given the right options.
