>Description:

The man page says:
             [...]
             -h      If the file is a symbolic link, change the mode of
                     the link itself rather than the file that the link
                     points to.
             [...]
but:
             dmagda:~$ chmod -h
             chmod: illegal option -- h
             usage: chmod [-fv] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] mode file ...

>How-To-Repeat:

Run chmod(1) with the "-h" option.

>Fix:

Either add the "-h" option, or get rid of the entry in the man page.
