Interesting. I wasn't intending to provide both
statx() and statxat()
variants, just the latter, in which case I'd've though that -at suffix is
redundant.
It's certainly fine to provide only *at flavors for any new syscall, IMHO.
The * case is always just a simple degenerate case of *at, and libc can
trivially provide the simpler user API as well using the *at syscall.
But please keep the uniformity that everything taking a descriptor and AT_*
flags is named *at.
Thanks,
Roland
