Right. {CHOWN_RESTRICTED} describes the behavior for users who do not
have "appropriate privilege". (POSIX does not describe a mechanism
for determining when a process has appropriate privilege to perform an
operation, and leaves it up to the implementation to define what
privilege is appropriate. So I withdraw my comment about pathconf().)
