RevisionDateAuthorComments
 1.28  08-Jun-2013  kardel Bring description in sync with errors-section and implementation reality.
(changing super-user only flags is not silently ignored)
 1.27  06-Aug-2011  jruoho branches: 1.27.2; 1.27.8;
Xref chflags(2) and stat_flags(3) with each other.
 1.26  31-May-2010  njoly Consistently use `.Brq Dv XXX' across syscalls man pages, for NAME_MAX
and PATH_MAX.
 1.25  21-Oct-2006  rillig Added a cross reference to stat(2), since that's the way how the current
flags can be determined.
 1.24  13-May-2004  wiz \- is a minus, not -.
 1.23  07-Aug-2003  agc Move UCB-licensed code from 4-clause to 3-clause licence.

Patches provided by Joel Baker in PR 22280, verified by myself.
 1.22  16-Apr-2003  wiz Use
.In header.h
instead of
.Fd #include \*[Lt]header.h\*[Gt]
Much easier to read and write, and supported by groff for ages.
Okayed by ross.
 1.21  18-Jan-2003  thorpej Merge the nathanw_sa branch.
 1.20  07-Jul-2002  bjh21 Mention lchflags in the NAME section.
 1.19  08-Feb-2002  ross Generate <>& symbolically. I'm avoiding .../dist/... directories for now.
 1.18  16-Sep-2001  wiz Boring whitespace fixes.
 1.17  17-Jun-2000  hubertf branches: 1.17.4;
Merge duplicate mentions of EPERM, EACCESS, ... into one entry
(where applicable).
 1.16  17-Apr-2000  mrg branches: 1.16.2;
implement lchflags(2), which does the chflags(2) dance without following
symlinks, and thus can operate on symlinks. remove a bogus comment in
chflags(1) that claims symlinks do not have file flags.

XXX: todo -- make chflags(1) use lchflags(2) when given the right options.
 1.15  02-Dec-1999  kleink Add a LIBRARY section to system call manual pages. While it's clear that the
libraries contain stubs only (with minor exceptions a la pipe(2)), the purpose
of this section is to provide linkage information.
 1.14  31-Jul-1999  christos branches: 1.14.4;
Add note that only the super-user may set or reset any flags on block
and character devices. [Commit by cjs.]
 1.13  22-Mar-1999  garbled Last of the .Os cleanups. .Os is defined in the tmac.doc-common file,
so we shouldn't override it with versions in the manpages. Wheee!
 1.12  29-Aug-1998  lukem first pass at fixing up capitalization of function names and
arguments; ensure that each is correct with respect to the
implementation, rather than being correct as per english.
 1.11  03-Feb-1998  perry .Bx'ize/.Nx'ize
 1.10  02-Feb-1998  perry merge lite-2
 1.9  23-Apr-1997  mikel document new reasons why {,f}chflags() can return EPERM; fixes
PR kern/3491. also, fix typo found by Paul Boven.
 1.8  22-Apr-1997  mikel add missing opaque and archived bits; from Paul Boven in PR kern/3491.
also fixed some formatting nits.
 1.7  05-Mar-1997  mikel fix broken xref, add entries for EOPNOTSUPP, and indicate that this
syscall arrived in 4.4BSD.
 1.6  27-Feb-1995  cgd merge with lite, keeping most local changes. clean up Ids
 1.5  22-Apr-1994  jtc Remove description of EINVAL, "The pathname contains a character with the
high-order bit set", as this error is obsolete.

Eventually we may want to add code to some of the "optional" filesystems
(msdosfs, etc.) that checks for illegal characters. At that time it would
be appropriate to reintroduce this error with appropriate text. Perhaps
"The pathname contains a character that is not valid for filesystem type".
 1.4  19-Apr-1994  jtc Use symbolic names {NAME_MAX} & {PATH_MAX} instead of 255 and 1023 in
description of ENAMETOOLONG error.
 1.3  25-Nov-1993  jtc Clean up manpages:
Use .Fn rather than .Nm macro in HISTORY and STANDARDS sections.
Use .At and .St macros instead of spelling out "Version 6 UNIX",
"IEEE 1003.1-1988 (POSIX)", etc.
 1.2  01-Aug-1993  mycroft Add RCS indentifiers.
