| pax(1) says in its description of the -p option:
|
| Specify one or more file characteristic options
| (privileges). The string option-argument is a
| string specifying file characteristics to be retained
| or discarded on extraction. The string consists
| of the specification characters a, e, f, m, o, and
| p.

| However, "f" was ifdefed out more than 6 years ago.
