Hello Al et al,

Documenting O_PATH fell by the wayside last year
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.man/2790) as I got distracted
with other tasks. A recent prod or two have reminded me restart this.
I have the following patch queued to document O_PATH.

Could you please review. I've provided the O_PATH doc both as
formatted text, for ease of reviewing, and as a patch and entire file
(attached).

Seems to be mostly correct; the only thing missing is that F_GETFL is also
allowed (and return value will contain O_PATH for such descriptors).  Had
been there since the very beginning...

Thanks, Al. I have added that piece.


Michael,

there is a typo within added piece:
