-/// Currently unimplemented on Windows.
+/// This function currently corresponds to:
+/// * `open` with `O_NOFOLLOW` flag enabled + `fchmod` on WASI
+/// * `fchmodat` function with the flag `AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW` enabled
+///   on Unix platforms
+/// * The flag `FILE_FLAG_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT` is enabled and then the
+///   permissions of the file is set through `SetFileInformationByHandle`
+///   on Windows.
+/// * On all other platforms, the behavior remains the same with
+/// [`fs::set_permissions`].
 ///
-/// On Unix platforms, this results in a [`FilesystemLoop`] error if the last element is a symlink.
+/// [`fs::set_permissions`]: crate::fs::set_permissions

+/// # Errors
+///
+/// This function will return an error in the following situations, but is not
+/// limited to just these cases:
+///
+/// * `path` does not exist.
+/// * The user lacks the permission to change attributes of the file.
+///
+/// Note: On Linux, this will result in a [`Unsupported`] error
+/// if the final element is a symlink. On BSD-based systems, the
+/// behavior can vary from symlink permission bits changing or
+/// there being no effects on symlinks
+///
+/// [`Unsupported`]: crate::io::ErrorKind::Unsupported
+///
+/// # Examples
+///

+/// #![feature(set_permissions_nofollow)]
+/// use std::fs;
+///
+/// fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
+///     let mut perms = fs::symlink_metadata("foo.txt")?.permissions();
