"The Long Format
If the file or directory has extended attributes, the permissions field printed by the -l

information, the permissions field printed by the -l option is followed by a '+' character."


Which is different from the table I quoted. They both should reflect the actual format. Since I installed Xcode 3.0 after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard, the man pages should reflect the Leopard version of these commands. Adding man pages is not that hard to do and they should be updated when a new version of the OS is installed.


How can one update their man pages automatically to reflect upgrades and patches? Documentation is not Apple's strength.
