-The \fB\-\-recursive\fR flag modifies this behavior. Due to an
-implementation detail, the recursive operation will return
-EXIT_SUCCESS even if it encounters links or inaccessible paths during
-the traversal. Beware; this means that manually supplying all children
-of a directory on the command-line does not act the same as operating
-on that directory recursively.
+When the \fB\-\-recursive\fR flag is used, the exit code is computed
+as if all affected paths were passed, depth-first, on the command-line.
