Hallo,

the manpage of chmod (3) says that the the perm symbol `X' is
not included in POSIX.2, but it is in POSIX (1003.1 2004).

Maybe this could be updated, because 1003.2 is now integrated in
1003.1 and 1003.1 has this `X'.

http://www.unix.org/single_unix_specification/

"The perm symbol X shall represent the execute/search portion of the
file mode bits if the file is a directory or if the current (unmodified)
file mode bits have at least one of the execute bits (S_IXUSR, S_IXGRP,
or S_IXOTH) set. It shall be ignored if the file is not a directory and
none of the execute bits are set in the current file mode bits."

Is this importent enough to mention it?

Regards,
Jonathan
