>Description:

http://firedrake.etherix.com/~ejb/chmod-Vflag.diff

This patch adds a new command line option to chmod, '-V'.  This is similar is
concept to -v, except that it prints more information to the user.  For example:

ejb@firedrake:~/t% chmod -V 755 *
test1: 0100744 [-rwxr--r-- ] -> 0100755 [-rwxr-xr-x ]
test2: 0100645 [-rw-r--r-x ] -> 0100755 [-rwxr-xr-x ]
test3: 0100111 [---x--x--x ] -> 0100755 [-rwxr-xr-x ]
ejb@firedrake:~/t% 

Because this addition does not change any existing output format or option parsing,
it should not break backward compatibility.

This patch updates both the source file and the manual page, chmod.1.
It is based on:
     $FreeBSD: src/bin/chmod/chmod.1,v 1.17.2.9 2002/07/14 21:38:40 keramida Exp $
     $FreeBSD: src/bin/chmod/chmod.c,v 1.16.2.3 2001/08/01 01:21:09 obrien Exp $

from RELENG_4.
