.Sh BUGS
The
.Fl P
-option assumes that the underlying storage overwrites file blocks
-when data is written to an existing offset.
-Several factors including the file system and its backing store could defeat
-this assumption.
-This includes, but is not limited to file systems that use a
-Copy-On-Write strategy (e.g. ZFS or UFS when snapshots are being used), Flash
-media that are using a wear leveling algorithm, or when the backing datastore
-does journaling, etc.
-In addition, only regular files are overwritten, other types of files are not.
+option does not have any effect
