Corinna (getfacl maintainer) and list,

I've been expirimenting with possible changes to the usage output
for getfacl. What I think would be best is something like:

$ ./getfacl.exe -h
Usage: getfacl.exe [-adn] FILE...
Display file and directory access control lists (ACLs).

  -a, --all      display the filename, the owner, the group, and
                 the ACL of the file
  -d, --dir      display the filename, the owner, the group, and
                 the default ACL of the directory, if it exists
  -e, --examples output examples of usage and exit
  -h, --help     output usage information and exit
  -n, --noname   display user and group IDs instead of names
  -v, --version  output version information and exit

Note: ACLs for multiple files are separated by a blank line

Report bugs to <cygwin AT cygwin DOT com>.

$

with the --examples option outputting the usage information plus the
additional information that currently outputs by default.
I thought I would ask on the list since I think this would be a good
change for getfacl, setfacl, and strace as least.
