Bugreport for ChMod

[Michael Gorbovitski]

chmod --help
results in :
        help for chmod
        ......
        Each MODE is of the form `[ugoa]*([-+=]([rwxXst]*|[ugo]))+'.

        Report bugs to <address@hidden>.


The above regular expression is unparsable by most people requesting the help.
Reasoning:
chmod is a basic linux command. If the user is requesting help for it, he is 
most likely a *nix
novice. Assuming that he is intimately familiar with regular expressions seems 
counterintuitive,
given the prior assumption.

Maybe we could add several examples, to either the help or the man page?


And no, neither the man page nor the info page is much better.


Yours very truly,
