Because otherwise I'd have to assume it meant nothing. :)  Either way
I'd be guessing.

So I assumed neither, and went to the documentation to find out.  But
the documentation couldn't clear the question up for me, which I think
is a problem.

And I think Chris is right, the documentation on all modes on symlinks
is sparce.  I think it's information that should be covered in the
documentation.  It's just the right thing to do, right?  (Doing this
follows the general trend of other functions that the documentation
performs :) ).

Cheers,

Dave
