>Description:

	Next words into lstat(2) manpage are wrong and disagreed
	symlink(7) manpage and current symlink release:

-- begin of quote --
     Unlike other filesystem objects, symbolic links do not have an owner,
     group, access mode, times, etc.  Instead, these attributes are taken from
     the directory that contains the link.  The only attributes returned from
     an lstat() that refer to the symbolic link itself are the file type
     (S_IFLNK), size, blocks, and link count (always 1).
-- end of quote --

>How-To-Repeat:

	man 2 lstat

>Fix:

	Make lstat(2) manpage adequate symlink(7).
