+fsconfig \- Filesystem parameterisation
+.SH SYNOPSIS

+.br

+.br
+.BI
+.fi
+.PP
+.IR Note :
+There is no glibc wrapper for this system call.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+.BR fsconfig ()
+is used to supply parameters to and issue commands against a filesystem
+configuration context as set up by
+.BR fsopen (2)
+or
+.BR fspick (2).
+The context is supplied attached to the file descriptor specified by
+.I fd
+argument.
+.PP
+The
+.I cmd
+argument indicates the command to be issued, where some of the commands simply
+supply parameters to the context.  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 incur 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 incur 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 NULL-terminated pathname string and aux may indicate
+.B AT_FDCWD
+or a file descriptor indicating a directory from which to begin a relative
+pathwalk.  This may return any errors incurred by the pathwalk and may return
+.B EINVAL
+if the parameter isn't expecting a path.
+.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 incur
+.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 causes the filesystem to take the parameters set in the context
+and to try to create filesystem representation in the kernel.  If it can share
+an existing one, it may do that instead if the filesystem type and parameters
+permit that.  This is intended for use with
+.BR fsopen (2).
+.TP
+.B FSCONFIG_CMD_RECONFIGURE
+This command causes the filesystem to apply the parameters set in the context
+to an already existing filesystem representation in memory and to alter it.
+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 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 user 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 5.1.
+.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),
