Description Benjamin Peterson 2013-03-13 04:13:53 UTC
For several releases now, Linux has supported a O_PATH flag to the open() syscall. However, it is still not documented in the open manpages.
Comment 1 Peter Schiffer 2013-12-04 13:56:23 UTC
O_PATH is documented on the open(2) man page since version 3.53.

Comment 2 Michael Kerrisk 2014-01-22 12:18:04 UTC
