Log:
There is no way for strmode(3) to append '+' if the file has ACL,
because there is no way to figure that out based on the file mode
itself. Make the manual page match reality.
Yep, that '+' is why libarchive has a custom strmode()
that accepts more information than just the mode.
A related issue: It would be really nice to be
able to find out whether a file had extended ACLs
or extended attributes based on the information
returned from stat(2). That would allow programs
like tar to avoid a fair number of system calls.
Even just a single bit "HAS_EXTENSIONS" would help
a lot, since most files don't have any extended
ACLs or extended attributes. It would also allow
users of strmode() (such as ls) to insert that '+'
sign themselves.
The only place I see to do this is to appropriate
some bits from st_flags.
