>Description:
The "grammar" describing "symbolic mode" for chmod(1) has the
exact same structure for the "action" and "last_action" lines.
However, the examples show that actions other than the final
action should be followed by a comma.
>How-To-Repeat:
man 1 chmod
>Fix:
The following patch updates the description of the grammar to
match the examples. (If this is applied, the man-page's date
should also be updated.)
