@ page 233 line 9027-9028 section chgrp comment {ce-chgrp-1}
Problem:
Edition of Specification (Year): 2001
Defect code : 1. Error
The 2001 edition SYNOPSIS section is:
chgrp -hR group file ...
chgrp -R [-H | -L | -P] group file
This was incorrect and changed in the 2003 edition to:
chgrp [-hR] group file ...
chgrp -R [-H | -L | -P] group file
However, this still is incorrect as no where in the text for chgrp does it talk
about the behavior when -h is specified with -R. Upon reading the text for the
-h, -R, and -P option, it appears that chgrp -hR is equivalent to chgrp -RP,
and therefore there is no need for -h to be allowed with -R.
Action:
Change:
(2001 edition)
chgrp -hR group file ...
chgrp -R [-H | -L | -P] group file
2003 edition)
chgrp [-hR] group file ...
chgrp -R [-H | -L | -P] group file
to:
chgrp [-h] group file ...
chgrp -R [-H | -L | -P] group file
thus leaving chgrp -Rh unspecified.
