Subject:   [Bug 240146] 'man cp' does not discuss extended attributes; it really should since even -p discards them!

--- Comment #3 from Conrad Meyer <cem@freebsd.org> ---
My impression is that extattr/fork use is much less common in BSD/Linux than
Windows.  It seems like Mac gained support in 10.4 in ~2005.

It's quite possible that folks who ran into this shortcoming just installed
coreutils and used gcp.

Btw, I don't think the cp(1) -p behavior is wrong here.  I was suggesting
adding extattr support to '-a', like GNU cp does.
