Yep, that's what I was interested in. The revision of the file. Actually, the manpage I have (running 5.0-CURRENT) had this part removed. The actual change that enabled the -h option happened in May 2001, as the commit log says. revision 1.21 date: 2001/05/28 15:31:11; author: ru; state: Exp; lines: +18 -8 Change noop option -h to do the real work. Now mode of symbolic link is changed if -h option is given. Requested by: bde Obtained from: NetBSD (code part) This does not appear to have made it in RELENG_4_4 so far. > Now let me ask the same question you ask of the original poster. > Dates of your man, man sources, chmod.c and chmod.1 ? I was a bit harsh in asking the exact version of your OS/manpage. I'm running 5.0 compiled on Sep 10, 2001, and my options to find out anything about why you see this difference was to skim through CVS logs, or ask. My apologies if I sounded nasty :/ > It would interesting to see where the divergance occurs. The change was committed in -CURRENT last May. You can view what changed if you request a diff (from cvsweb.cgi) of src/bin/chmod.c for versions 1.20 -> 1.21. Perhaps ru@freebsd.org meant to MFC this, but didn't have the time to do it before the release of 4.4. -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
