[PATCH 1/2] doc: clarify chown/chgrp --dereference defaults |
Date: |
Thu, 28 Dec 2017 15:52:42 -0500 |
* doc/coreutils.texi: the documentation for the --dereference
flag of chown/chgrp states that it is the default mode of
operation. Document that this is only the case when operating
non-recursively.
