[PATCH v3 10/12] man/man2/mount_setattr.2: mirror opening sentence from fsopen(2)

From: Aleksa Sarai <hidden>
Date: 2025-08-08 20:41:09
Also in: linux-fsdevel, linux-man, lkml
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

All of the other new mount API docs have this lead-in sentence in order
to make this set of APIs feel a little bit more cohesive.  Despite being
a bit of a latecomer, mount_setattr(2) is definitely part of this family
of APIs and so deserves the same treatment.
