statx

This project is an example implementation of the statx()-systemcall which was introduced in Linux 4.11

Requirements

statx-fun was written for x86, arm64 and x86_64 architectures. but it just takes two lines of code(place the right syscall-number) to port it to other architectures. It requires at least Linux Kernel 4.11.

Please note, that at the moment there is no glibc wrapper for statx()-systemcall.

Compile

make
