For example:
|
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent compact

Symbolic links do not have flags, so unless the
|
|
|
|
|
.Fl H
|
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
|
.Fl L
|
|
|
|
|
option is set,
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm chflags
|
|
|
|
|
on a symbolic link always succeeds and has no effect.
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fl H ,
|
|
|
|
|
.Fl L
|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
.Fl P
|
|
|
|
|
options are ignored unless the
|
|
|
|
|
.Fl R
|
|
|
|
|
option is specified.
|
|
|
|
|
In addition, these options override each other and the
|
|
|
|
|
command's actions are determined by the last one specified.
