Subject: [PATCH v4 08/10] man/man2/mount_setattr.2: mirror opening sentence from fsopen(2)
Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2025 11:59:49 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250919-new-mount-api-v4-8-1261201ab562@cyphar.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250919-new-mount-api-v4-0-1261201ab562@cyphar.com>
All of the other new mount API docs have this lead-in sentence in order
to make this set of APIs feel a little bit more cohesive. Despite being
a bit of a latecomer, mount_setattr(2) is definitely part of this family
of APIs and so deserves the same treatment.
