patch
The patch enables more short options than the el5 man page and --help suggest. Only options -v and -h should be added. The other options from Fedora are not supposed to be propagated into el5.

proposed fix
Looks sane... additional binary chacl is just IRIX compat, so it doesn't need these options common in Linux.

Description of problem: Both getfacl and setfacl commands mention -h and -v options in the synopsys section of the manpage but these options does not work. I am not sure whether those options were removed on purpose or by mistake (since it seems that it worked cca 1 year ago) but anyway man pages should reflect the behaviour of the program. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): acl-2.2.39-3.el5.i386 (and also in new acl-2.2.39-6.el5.i386) How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. getfacl -h 2. getfacl --help 3. compare with man getfacl Actual results: $ getfacl -h getfacl: invalid option -- h Usage: getfacl [-dRLP] file ... Try `getfacl --help' for more information. $ getfacl --help getfacl 2.2.39 -- get file access control lists Usage: getfacl [-dRLP] file ... --access display the file access control list only -d, --default display the default access control list only --omit-header do not display the comment header --all-effective print all effective rights --no-effective print no effective rights --skip-base skip files that only have the base entries -R, --recursive recurse into subdirectories -L, --logical logical walk, follow symbolic links -P --physical physical walk, do not follow symbolic links --tabular use tabular output format --numeric print numeric user/group identifiers --absolute-names don't strip leading '/' in pathnames --version print version and exit --help this help text NAME getfacl - get file access control lists SYNOPSIS getfacl [-dRLPvh] file ... getfacl [-dRLPvh] - Expected results: getfacl and setfacl should accept -v and -h options or those options should not be mentioned in manpages Additional info: acl version acl-2.2.47-4.fc11.x86_64 from fedora 11 accepts those options but to be honest Fedora version accepts even more options.
