Hello there.
I think that following part of `man 1 chflags` is not clear:
The flags are specified as an octal number or a comma separated list
of
keywords. The following keywords are currently defined:
arch set the archived flag (super-user only)
opaque set the opaque flag (owner or super-user only)
nodump set the nodump flag (owner or super-user only)
sappnd set the system append-only flag (super-user only)
schg set the system immutable flag (super-user only)
sunlnk set the system undeletable flag (super-user only)
uappnd set the user append-only flag (owner or super-user only)
uchg set the user immutable flag (owner or super-user only)
uunlnk set the user undeletable flag (owner or super-user only)
archived, sappend, schange, simmutable, uappend, uchange,
uimmutable, sunlink, uunlink
aliases for the above
The list of the aliases say nothing about what keyword is the alias of what
another keyword in the above list. It also say nothing about that some
keywords have two aliases. IMHO the above part of the manual should looks
about like following:
The flags are specified as an octal number or a comma separated list
of
keywords. The following keywords are currently defined:
arch archived
set the archived flag (super-user only)
opaque
set the opaque flag (owner or super-user only)
nodump
set the nodump flag (owner or super-user only)
sappnd sappend
set the system append-only flag (super-user only)
schg schange simmutable
set the system immutable flag (super-user only)
sunlnk sunlink
set the system undeletable flag (super-user only)
uappnd uappend
set the user append-only flag (owner or super-user only)
uchg uchange uimmutable
set the user immutable flag (owner or super-user only)
uunlnk uunlink
set the user undeletable flag (owner or super-user only)
What do you think?
Thanks
