This possibly improves the usability of chattr for some typical use cases:
Command : Old : New behavior
================================================
chattr -h : help : help
chattr -h FILE : help : chattr -- -h -- FILE
chattr -hs FILE : help : chattr -- -h -s -- FILE
chattr -sh FILE : fail : chattr -- -s -h -- FILE
chattr -ar FILE : fail : chattr -- -a -r -- FILE
Unrelated: there a two trivial block-copied-but-not-changed issues:
$ egrep 'ACL|--r' chattr.c
"Get POSIX ACL information\n"
" -R, --recursive recursively list attributes of directories
and their \n"
Regards,
Christian

Subject: [PATCH] Cygwin: utils: chattr: Improve option parsing.
Interpret '-h' as '--help' only if last argument.
Allow multiple characters in first '-mode' argument.
