What are you talking about? The info page has an entire section on
this:
$ info coreutils "Symbolic modes" -o - --subnodes 2>/dev/null | wc
288 1528 9654
That's a fifteen-hundred word explanation on the syntax and meaning
behind symbolic modes, and there are 19 examples by my count. --help
output and man pages are supposed to be short and concise.
