                     65: .Fl R
                     66: option is specified, symbolic links on the command line are followed.
                     67: (Symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal are not followed.)
                     68: .It Fl L
                     69: If the

                     76: .It Fl R
                     77: Change the file flags for the file hierarchies rooted

                     83: .Bd -literal -offset indent compact
                     84: arch   set the archived flag

                     86: nodump set the nodump flag (owner or super-user only)
                     87: sappnd set the system append-only flag (super-user only)

                    113: options are ignored unless the
                    114: .Fl R
                    115: option is specified.
