Expand description
This crate provides bindings for name_to_handle_at() and open_by_handle_at() system calls in Linux
These system calls can be used to refer to i-nodes on the file system using a byte array that does not change during i-node lifetime
This crate can be useful for user-space NFS servers (since NFS protocols require such references) and fanotify users wanting to refer to watched files by handles
