Thus "statrat" could be the syscall that acts like fstatat, but gets related attributes too. A bonus of this name is that a "stat rat" is slang for someone who loves looking at statistics, often sports statistics. Billy Beane is a stat rat. Someone who cares about files' statistics is also a stat rat. The "r" in "statrat" could stand for "related", or for "relevant", or for whatever you like. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
