unclear wording on getfacl manpage (--all != ALL)

[Linda Walsh]

on the CYGWIN getfacl manpage, it has

   -a, --all
       display  the  filename, the owner, the group, and the ACL of the
       file

--
But in the linux version it says:


    -a, --access
        Display the file access control list.

--

The "--all" in the cygwin cygwin version sounds like it
should display all ACL-related entries, but it really only
displays the inode-specific acl on directories.

To display "all ACL-related entries", one uses no parameter.

The usage of "--all" to indicate the option "limits" output
to only the "inode-specific" part is confusing and unclear.
