DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       kkppsseessttaatt  prints  the  octal  permission  of _f_i_l_e modified
       according to _m_o_d_e on standard output.  The _m_o_d_e  parameter
       accepts  a  subset of the symbolic permissions accepted by
       cchhmmoodd(1).  Use _= as the mode to obtain the unchanged  per-
       missions.

       kkppsseessttaatt accepts the following additional options:

       ----hheellpp Print help message and exit.

       ----vveerrssiioonn
              Print version information and exit.

BBUUGGSS
       The  error  message  when the file doesn't exist is rather
       cryptic.
