| 	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.
