It is currently allowed to fchownat(2), fchmodat(2), fchflagsat(2),
utimensat(2), fstatat(2), and linkat(2).

open(2): Remove O_BENEATH and AT_BENEATH2021-03-02T18:16:55ZKonstantin Belousovkib@FreeBSD.org2021-02-16T03:31:40Zurn:sha1:20e91ca36a56b8db1e6677f577ad011b66dd6eb3
with the reasoning that the flags did not worked properly, and were not
shipped in a release.
O_RESOLVE_BENEATH is kept as useful.

Document EINTEGRITY errors for many system calls.2020-03-30T21:44:00ZJohn Baldwinjhb@FreeBSD.org2020-03-30T21:44:00Zurn:sha1:e42b09643997affce935b2197814381c7ee856c1
EINTEGRITY was previously documented as a UFS-specific error for
mount(2). This documents EINTEGRITY as a filesystem-independent error
that may be reported by the backing store of a filesystem.
While here, document EIO as a filesystem-independent error for both
mount(2) and posix_fadvise(2). EIO was previously only documented for
UFS for mount(2).

stat, lstat, and fstat use `*sb` as the stat struct pointer arg name,
while fstatat previously used `*buf`.

stat(2): clarify which syscalls modify file timestamps2018-12-05T17:28:40ZAlan Somersasomers@FreeBSD.org2018-12-05T17:28:40Zurn:sha1:006678fd055f6a935885fbf832c55e830e9b0ebc
The list of syscalls that modify st_atim, st_mtim, and st_ctim was quite out
of date and probably not accurate to begin with. Update it, and make it
clear that the list is open-ended.

It was decided that committing the code and drafting of the man page
update is better than allowing the code to rot until wordsmithing
happens.

Flags prevent open(2) and *at(2) vfs syscalls name lookup from
escaping the starting directory. Supposedly the interface is similar
to the same proposed Linux flags.
