subject says it all... the "This flag is not currently implemented."
on the man page is wrong, i think?

I guess it was right when the text was written in 2006.

$ git blame --follow -- man/man2/chmod.2 | grep currently
92f114db82 man2/chmod.2     (Michael Kerrisk   2014-02-21 08:35:27 +0100 207) This flag is not currently implemented.
$ git blame 92f114db82^ -- man2/fchmodat.2 | grep currently
a53b8cb2a0 (Michael Kerrisk  2006-05-02 00:05:06 +0000  99) This flag is not currently implemented.

That might perfectly have changed in the last 18 years.  :)

Would you mind writing a small program and shell session that
demonstrates it?  It could be interesting for an EXAMPLES section.


Have a lovely day!
