Subject: [PATCH 1/1] include/uapi: Define AT_FDNODIR constant as future guarantee
Date: Sat, 05 Jul 2014 19:51:19 +0000 (GMT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <fb469d6277ef.53b85737@langara.bc.ca> (raw)
From: Steven Stewart-Gallus <sstewartgallus00-QKvm5KDIoDa7M0a00MdBSQ@public.gmane.org
This constant means that in the far future it might be possible to
define other AT_FD* constants.

This is my first kernel patch but this is really trivial so I hope I'm doing
this right.
