If I'm understanding this proposal correctly, the fix is because I/O
is an adjective of port, not of permissions.  And then 'I/O port' would
be modifying permissions.

If my interpretation is correct, then I believe I/O would be separated
from 'port' by a hyphen, not a space.

Is this the correct interpretation of the proposed fix?

BTW, should we contract to I/O?

	ioperm \- set I/O-port permissions


Have a lovely day!
Alex
