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. -s
