>Description:
The options -H, -L and -P are mutually exclusive and determine
the behaviour if -R is supplied and a symbolic link is encountered.
One of the options obviously has to be the default, but it's not
described which one.

>How-To-Repeat:
man 8 chown

>Fix:
Add "This is the default." to the -P option (links are never
followed).
