The meaning of +.IR key ", " value " and " aux +are command-dependent; unless required for the command, these should be set to +NULL or 0. +.PP +The available commands are: +.TP +.B FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG +Set the parameter named by +.IR key +to true. This may fail with error +.B EINVAL +if the parameter requires an argument. +.TP +.B FSCONFIG_SET_STRING +Set the parameter named by +.I key +to a string. This may fail with error +.B EINVAL +if the parser doesn't want a parameter here, wants a non-string or the string +cannot be interpreted appropriately. +.I value +points to a NUL-terminated string. +.TP +.B FSCONFIG_SET_BINARY +Set the parameter named by +.I key +to be a binary blob argument. This may cause +.B EINVAL +to be returned if the filesystem parser isn't expecting a binary blob and it +can't be converted to something usable. +.I value +points to the data and +.I aux +indicates the size of the data. +.TP +.B FSCONFIG_SET_PATH +Set the parameter named by +.I key +to the object at the provided path. +.I value +should point to a NUL-terminated pathname string and aux may indicate +.B AT_FDCWD +or a file descriptor indicating a directory from which to begin a relative +path resolution. This may fail with error +.B EINVAL +if the parameter isn't expecting a path; it may also fail if the path cannot +be resolved with the typcal errors for that +.RB "(" ENOENT ", " ENOTDIR ", " EPERM ", " EACCES ", etc.)." +.IP +Note that FSCONFIG_SET_STRING can be used instead, implying AT_FDCWD. +.TP +.B FSCONFIG_SET_PATH_EMPTY +As FSCONFIG_SET_PATH, but with +.B AT_EMPTY_PATH +applied to the pathwalk. +.TP +.B FSCONFIG_SET_FD +Set the parameter named by +.I key +to the file descriptor specified by +.IR aux . +This will fail with +.B EINVAL +if the parameter doesn't expect a file descriptor or +.B EBADF +if the file descriptor is invalid. +.IP +Note that FSCONFIG_SET_STRING can be used instead with the file descriptor +passed as a decimal string. +.TP +.B FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE +This command triggers the filesystem to take the parameters set in the context +and to try to create filesystem representation in the kernel. If an existing +representation can be shared, the filesystem may do that instead if the +parameters permit. This is intended for use with +.BR fsopen (2). +.TP +.B FSCONFIG_CMD_RECONFIGURE +This command causes the driver to alter the parameters of an already live +filesystem instance according to the parameters stored in the context. This +is intended for use with +.BR fspick (2), +but may also by used against the context created by +.BR fsopen() +after +.BR fsmount (2) +has been called on it. + +.\"________________________________________________________ +.SH EXAMPLES +.PP +.in +4n +.nf +fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "ro", NULL, 0); + +fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "user_xattr", "false", 0); + +fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_SET_BINARY, "ms_pac", pac_buffer, pac_size); + +fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_SET_PATH, "journal", "/dev/sdd4", AT_FDCWD); + +dirfd = open("/dev/", O_PATH); +fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_SET_PATH, "journal", "sdd4", dirfd); + +fd = open("/overlays/mine/", O_PATH); +fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_SET_PATH_EMPTY, "lower_dir", "", fd); + +pipe(pipefds); +fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "fd", NULL, pipefds[1]); +.fi +.in +.PP +.SH RETURN VALUE +On success, the function returns 0. On error, \-1 is returned, and +.I errno +is set appropriately. +.SH ERRORS +The error values given below result from filesystem type independent +errors. +Each filesystem type may have its own special errors and its +own special behavior. +See the Linux kernel source code for details. +.TP +.B EACCES +A component of a path was not searchable. +(See also +.BR path_resolution (7).) +.TP +.B EACCES +Mounting a read-only filesystem was attempted without specifying the +.RB ' ro ' +parameter. +.TP +.B EACCES +A specified block device is located on a filesystem mounted with the +.B MS_NODEV +option. +.\" mtk: Probably: write permission is required for MS_BIND, with +.\" the error EPERM if not present; CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE is required. +.TP +.B EBADF +The file descriptor given by +.I fd +or possibly by +.I aux +(depending on the command) is invalid. +.TP +.B EBUSY +The context attached to +.I fd +is in the wrong state for the given command. +.TP +.B EBUSY +The filesystem representation cannot be reconfigured read-only because it still +holds files open for writing. +.TP +.B EFAULT +One of the pointer arguments points outside the accessible address space. +.TP +.B EINVAL +.I fd +does not refer to a filesystem configuration context. +.TP +.B EINVAL +One of the source parameters referred to an invalid superblock. +.TP +.B ELOOP +Too many links encountered during pathname resolution. +.TP +.B ENAMETOOLONG +A path name was longer than +.BR MAXPATHLEN . +.TP +.B ENOENT +A pathname was empty or had a nonexistent component. +.TP +.B ENOMEM +The kernel could not allocate sufficient memory to complete the call. +.TP +.B ENOTBLK +Once of the parameters does not refer to a block device (and a device was +required). +.TP +.B ENOTDIR +.IR pathname , +or a prefix of +.IR source , +is not a directory. +.TP +.B EOPNOTSUPP +The command given by +.I cmd +was not valid. +.TP +.B ENXIO +The major number of a block device parameter is out of range. +.TP +.B EPERM +The caller does not have the required privileges. +.SH CONFORMING TO +These functions are Linux-specific and should not be used in programs intended +to be portable. +.SH VERSIONS +.BR fsconfig () +was added to Linux in kernel 5.2. +.SH NOTES +Glibc does not (yet) provide a wrapper for the +.BR fsconfig () +system call; call it using +.BR syscall (2). +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR mountpoint (1), +.BR fsmount (2), +.BR fsopen (2), +.BR fspick (2), +.BR mount_namespaces (7), +.BR path_resolution (7)
