Document the -h option for chmod and chflags, rewording the chgrp(1) and
chown(8) manpages to be consistent and clearer about it as well.

remove the first comma from constructs like ", and," and ", or,": you can use
"and" and "or" to join sentence clauses, and you can use commas, but both hinders
reading;

Correct the handling of symbolic links by chmod/chgrp/chown/chflags,
making them more resistant to TOCTOU race conditions too.

sticky bit is marked xsi;

- remove brackets in -H description: the information is quite relevant
- note that not following sym links is default for -R
- improve the description of -R, providing a mnemonic and a simpler
description of what it does. also make the text for all these pages
identical, as far as is possible

ellipsis is not an optional argument; replace ".Ar file ..." -> ".Ar";
simplify the symbolic modes format.

Remove the advertising clause in the UCB license which Berkeley
rescinded 22 July 1999. Proofed by myself and Theo.

Undo a misguided attempt to fix speling errors from long ago. UCB
copyrights say "acknowledgement", not "acknowledgment". You cannot
just go changing the text of a license willy-nilly.

Fix confusing formatting of an example.

Use better grammar.

Add some rudimentary EXAMPLES sections and standardize the way we display
existing EXAMPLES sections.

Xr chflags(1)

- For consistency, `super-user' -> `superuser' in all cases.
- Some punctuation fixes.
- Some `id' -> `ID'.

Add HISTORY sections; from FreeBSD. Information originally obtained from
"A Quarter Centry of UNIX, Peter H. Salus, Page 41".

Remove hard sentence breaks.

Minor tweaks. Add Xr to find(1); espie@

Improve this man page significantly; more helpful, easier to read, and easier
to learn how chmod(1) works. Oh, and trash those useless BNF grammars.

trash some old leftover macros and replace them with -mdoc macros

repairs

Cleanup xrefs under SEE ALSO. Specifically:

- Sort xrefs by section, and then alphabetically.
- Add missing commas between xref items.
- Remove commas from the last xref entry.
- Remove duplicate entries.

SEE ALSO .Xr's go in lexigraphical order

1. Cleanup.
2. Xr sticky(8) and chgrp(1).
3. Mention not to confuse ``o'' symbol (others) for owner (``u'').
4. Describe the meaning of the directory search bit.
5. Briefly warn about adding suid/sgid bits to binaries.

always give .Nm macros an argument in SYNOPSIS sections; krw@tcn.net

start killing redundant .Nm macro arguments (mandoc ``remembers'' the first one
it's given)

use .Dq/.Sq macros instead of `` ''s and ` 's (think typesetting and future
processing); kill redundant .Pp macros; other misc fixes

First complete sweep of man pages, bin/. Command/function names previously
(incorrectly) capatilized are fixed. Comma splices, hyphenations, SYNOPSIS
cleanups, other miscellaneous typos.
