Description

  • Does the set of flags differ by platform? (probably)
  • If so, when we extract an item with a flag not supported by the particular platform, does the extracted item only has that specific flag missing, or all flags?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how BSD flags are handled across different platforms in the borg source code. Examine platform specific flag sets and extraction behavior when flags are not supported. Test on multiple platforms or review existing tests and documentation.
