v13 v14 47 47 So we use "filecap" to talk about !#1..6, but (since most files are immutable) 48 48 we're usually talking about !#1. We use "dircap" to talk about !#7..12. 49 We use "readcap" to talk about !#{1,3,5,7,9,11}, but usually we refer to50 !#{7,9,11} as a "directory readcap".

(There's much less work involved to let !#2 repair a file or
