From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Aleksa Sarai Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/3] document openat2(2) patch series Date: Fri, 4 Oct 2019 00:55:38 +1000 Message-ID: <20191003145542.17490-1-cyphar@cyphar.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Return-path: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org To: Al Viro , Michael Kerrisk Cc: Aleksa Sarai , Christian Brauner , Aleksa Sarai , linux-man@vger.kernel.org, linux-api@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-api@vger.kernel.org This is a first draft of the man-page changes for the openat2(2) patch series I'm working on[1]. It includes information about the magic-link changes as well as the primary new features (O_EMPTYPATH and openat2). Let me know what you think. I might go into too much detail about how extension of openat2(2) will work -- let me know if that section should be dropped (while it is useful for userspace to understand, it isn't really that necessary to explain exactly what the semantics are -- it will usually just transparently work).
