Package: coreutils Version: 8.13-2 Severity: minor The chmod SYNOPSIS has these 2 most prominent usages:
chmod [OPTION]... MODE[,MODE]... FILE...chmod [OPTION]... OCTAL-MODE FILE...
The description then says:
chmod changes the file mode bits of each given file according to /mode/, which can be either a symbolic representation of changes to make, or an octal number representing the bit pattern for the new mode bits.
without distinguishing between MODE and OCTAL-MODE.
