[" FILE ]... In man-pages, at least, the convention is to use lower case for these pieces (and thus through the remainder of the page), so: > .RI [ option "]... [" file ]... > .SH DESCRIPTION > For each file, getrichacl displays the file name and Rich Access Control List For man-pages, at least, the convention is that the references to the function/command name explained in the page are bold, do: .BR getrichacl > (richacl). For what it's worth, I think it would be worthwhile to start with a consistent abbreviation comment here (and use it throughout all of the man pages): "RichACL" (or "richACL"), rather than "richacl"; that seems more consistent with the traditional abbreviation "ACL". > > By default, getrichacl displays the effective permissions remaining after .BR getrichacl > applying the file masks to the ACL.
