 | >Description:
 | 	pax(1) says in its description of the -p option:
 | 
 | 		Specify one or more file characteristic options
 | 		(privileges).  The string option-argument is a
 | 		string specifying file characteristics to be retained
 | 		or discarded on extraction.  The string consists
 | 		of the specification characters a, e, f, m, o, and
 | 		p.
 | 
 | 	However, "f" was ifdefed out more than 6 years ago.
 | >How-To-Repeat:
 | 	man pax
 | >Fix:
 | 	Remove some bytes from the man page.
