>Description:
The man page says:
[...]
-h If the file is a symbolic link, change the mode of
the link itself rather than the file that the link
points to.
[...]
but:
dmagda:~$ chmod -h
chmod: illegal option -- h
usage: chmod [-fv] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] mode file ...
>How-To-Repeat:
Run chmod(1) with the "-h" option.
>Fix:
Either add the "-h" option, or get rid of the entry in the man page.
