+it should always be set to +.IR sizeof(struct\~mnt_id_req) . +.P +.I req.mnt_id +can be obtained from either +.BR statx (2) +using +.B STATX_MNT_ID_UNIQUE +or from +.BR listmount (2) +and is used as the identifier to query the status of the desired mount point. +.P +.I req.param +is used to tell the kernel which fields the caller is interested in. +It is an ORed combination of the following constants +.P +.in +4n +.TS +lB l. +STATMOUNT_SB_BASIC /* Want/got sb_* */ +STATMOUNT_MNT_BASIC /* Want/got mnt_* */ +STATMOUNT_PROPAGATE_FROM /* Want/got propagate_from */ +STATMOUNT_MNT_ROOT /* Want/got mnt_root */ +STATMOUNT_MNT_POINT /* Want/got mnt_point */ +STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE /* Want/got fs_type */ +.TE +.in +.P +In general, +the kernel does +.I not +reject values in +.I req.param +other than the above. +(For an exception, +see +.B EINVAL +in errors.) +Instead, +it simply informs the caller which values are supported +by this kernel and filesystem via the +.I statmount.mask +field. +Therefore, +.I "do not" +simply set +.I req.param +to +.B UINT_MAX +(all bits set), +as one or more bits may, +in the future, +be used to specify an extension to the buffer. +.SS The returned information +The status information for the target mount is returned in the +.I statmount +structure pointed to by +.IR smbuf . +.P +The fields in the +.I statmount +structure are: +.TP +.I smbuf.size +The size of the returned +.I smbuf +structure, +including any of the strings fields that were filled. +.TP +.I smbuf.mask +The ORed combination of +.BI STATMOUNT_ * +flags indicating which fields were filled in and thus valid. +The kernel may return fields that weren't requested, +and may fail to return fields that were requested, +depending on what the backing file system and kernel supports. +In either case, +.I req.param +will not be equal to +.IR mask . +.TP +.I smbuf.sb_dev_major +.TQ +.I smbuf.sb_dev_minor +The device that is mounted at this mount point. +.TP +.I smbuf.sb_magic +The file system specific super block magic. +.TP +.I smbuf.sb_flags +The flags that are set on the super block, +an ORed combination of +.BR SB_RDONLY , +.BR SB_SYNCHRONOUS , +.BR SB_DIRSYNC , +.BR SB_LAZYTIME . +.TP +.I smbuf.fs_type +The offset to the location in the +.I smbuf.str +buffer that contains the string representation of the mounted file system. +It is a null-terminated string. +.TP +.I smbuf.mnt_id +The unique mount ID of the mount. +.TP +.I smbuf.mnt_parent_id +The unique mount ID of the parent mount point of this mount. +If this is the root mount point then +.IR smbuf.mnt_id\~==\~smbuf.parent_mount_id . +.TP +.I smbuf.mnt_id_old +This corresponds to the mount ID that is exported by +.IR /proc/ pid /mountinfo . +.TP +.I smbuf.mnt_parent_id_old +This corresponds to the parent mount ID that is exported by +.IR /proc/ pid /mountinfo . +.TP +.I smbuf.mnt_attr +The +.BI MOUNT_ATTR_ * +flags set on this mount point. +.TP +.I smbuf.mnt_propagation +The mount propagation flags, +which can be one of +.BR MS_SHARED , +.BR MS_SLAVE , +.BR MS_PRIVATE , +.BR MS_UNBINDABLE . +.TP +.I smbuf.mnt_peer_group +The ID of the shared peer group. +.TP +.I smbuf.mnt_master +The mount point receives its propagation from this mount ID. +.TP +.I smbuf.propagate_from +The ID from the namespace we propagated from. +.TP +.I smbuf.mnt_root +The offset to the location in the +.I smbuf.str +buffer that contains the string representation of the mount +relative to the root of the file system. +It is a NULL terminated string. +.TP +.I smbuf.mnt_point +The offset to the location in the +.I smbuf.str +buffer that contains the string representation of the mount +relative to the current root (ie if you are in a +.BR chroot ). +It is a NULL terminated string. +.SH RETURN VALUE +On success, zero is returned. +On error, \-1 is returned, and +.I errno +is set to indicate the error. +.SH ERRORS +.TP +.B EPERM +Permission is denied for accessing this mount. +.TP +.B EFAULT +.I req +or +.I smbuf +is NULL or points to a location outside the process's +accessible address space. +.TP +.B EINVAL +Invalid flag specified in +.IR flags . +.TP +.B EINVAL +.I req +is of insufficient size to be utilized. +.B E2BIG +.I req +is too large. +.TP +.B EOVERFLOW +The size of +.I smbuf +is too small to contain either the +.IR smbuf.fs_type , +.IR smbuf.mnt_root , +or +.IR smbuf.mnt_point . +Allocate a larger buffer and retry the call. +.TP +.B ENOENT +The specified +.I req.mnt_id +doesn't exist. +.TP +.B ENOMEM +Out of memory (i.e., kernel memory). +.SH STANDARDS +Linux. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR listmount (2), +.BR statx (2) -- 2.43.0
