f63f700eea Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality
of the typeset output, tend to make diffs harder to read and provide
bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.

d71e172ac6 Add link(1) and unlink(1) as special cases of ln(1) and rm(1)
respectively, in accordance with SUSv2.

This differs from the approach taken in NetBSD, but provides
less obscure error messages in at least the EISDIR case and
does not take up additional disk space for new binaries.

f3b7e70782 Revert part of the previous commit. Keep the example that shows how the
"-h" flag is used, but use "chown" in the example instead of "file".

a53f20cc1e Change description of file(1) following symlinks to the truth (namely,
by default, file(1) does not follow symlinks, the -L flag must be
specified.

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.

7d4b6187df Nuke the undocumented -F flag, since it doesn't do anything anymore.
It used to allow root to hard-link directories (and screw up programs that
expexted the ".." entry to point to the parent dir)

9195f40982 Use lstat() instead of stat() for checking if the final source file exists,
so that `ln -fs' works when the source is a symlink pointing to a non-
existent file.

c4278e8b60 fix ln to accept -f again. Thanks Bruce. Seems that Joe Grosch isn't
quite as safe as I thought.  I will have to look much closer on his
patches.  Damn.
