$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$

1999-08-28T00:22:10+00:00

Contains the para

  Unlike other filesystem objects, symbolic links do not have an owner,
  group, access mode, times, etc.  Instead, these attributes are taken from
  the directory that contains the link.  The only attributes returned from
  an lstat() that refer to the symbolic link itself are the file type
  (S_IFLNK), size, blocks, and link count (always 1).

This is bogus, and disagrees with the implementation and symlink(7).

Removed it.

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

1997-01-14T07:20:47+00:00

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.

Remove the EINVAL error from the ERRORS sections that

1997-01-11T23:56:32+00:00

say is means that a pathname had the high-order bit
set, since this is no longer an error.

Bring stat(2) into line with what is now actually in

1997-01-11T21:45:57+00:00

stat.h.  Also add a little blurb regarding st_mtime &
friends clarifiying how they are defined in a
non-_POSIX_SOURCE envorinment.  Closes PR# 1089.
