conditions.
I'll leave it to someone more documentation savy to either write a 
nice
manpage from scratch or include the NetBSD version. The latter has a
small bug BTW, the script uses link / unlink and not rename :-)
Why don't you just grab from NetBSD version and let someone to
improvement it? You are breaking about what's great about BSD, IMO.
Yea, people (me included), please try to keep docs current for any 
changes you make! Community, complain if there is docs missing! We had 
good documentation in the first place, and it should only get better, 
not worse.
