So, usually if "pathname" is used, it's intentional to suppress the
special magic behavior. Usually, but not always. In this case, the man
page does use "pathname" and sometimes that means it's just a cut and
paste error.

My man page also says there's no glibc wrapper for statx, making me
slightly surprised that a wrapper for it is needed/relevant.
