@@ -28,6 +28,22 @@ flag is specified,
 .B nfs4_getfacl
 will list the NFSv4 ACLs of all files and directories recursively.
 
+If the
+.BR -L / --logical
+flag is specified,
+.B nfs4_getfacl
+will follow symbolic links to directories. The default behavior is to follow
+symbolic link arguments, and skip symbolic links encountered in subdirectories.
+Only effective in combination with -R.
+
+If the
+.BR -P / --physical
+flag is specified,
+.B nfs4_getfacl
+will not follow symbolic links to directories. This also skips symbolic link
+arguments.
+Only effective in combination with -R.

 The output format for an NFSv4 file ACL, e.g., is:
