| 15 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 16 | ----------- | |
| 3460a600 | 17 | For every pathname, this command will list if each attribute is 'unspecified', |

| 23 | Read file names from stdin instead of from the command-line. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | -z:: | |
| 3460a600 DM |
26 | Only meaningful with `--stdin`; paths are separated with a |
| 27 | NUL character instead of a linefeed character. | |
