How accurate is the documentation?

[zxcat]

Docs say rustic won't backup xattr:

docs/src/commands/backup/special_items_metadata.md

Lines 22 to 27 in 4cd868c

	Note that `rustic` does not back up some metadata associated with files. Of
	particular note are::
	- file creation date on Unix platforms
	- inode flags on Unix platforms
	- xattr information

But this PR says it backups and restores: rustic-rs/rustic#557

Because of this, some users simply will not start using rustic due to inaccurate information. And also it confuses. Maybe put some large note somewhere on the title page about documentation status?

Or is there some up to date docs?

TL;DR: The docu is not yet very accurate and may be even totally wrong. It is a first start where some pieces have been simply copy&pasted from the restic docu but may not be true for rustic.

However, you are invited to correct anything wrong; just use the "edit" button on the top right on the respeting page at https://rustic.cli.rs/docs/ and create a PR from your changes.

Ok I see, thanks.
To correct something, you need to know how it should be correct : )
I'll try rustic first to obtain such knowledge.

Actual, the best docu which is correct is the CLI docu you get by rustic -h or rustic <COMMAND> -h...

Documentation has been improved steadily, in the last year. I'll pin this issue though, to make sure, people are aware, that some information might be not totally accurate and that they can take part in improving it. (:
