Each lookup can be done in one of a +variety of ways: +.TP +[*] By absolute path. +The pathname points to an absolute path and the dirfd is ignored. The file is +looked up by name, starting from the root of the filesystem as seen by the +calling process. +.TP +[*] By cwd-relative path. +The pathname points to a relative path and the dirfd is +.IR AT_FDCWD . +The file is looked up by name, starting from the current working directory. +.TP +[*] By dir-relative path. +The pathname points to relative path and the dirfd indicates a file descriptor +pointing to a directory. The file is looked up by name, starting from the +directory specified by +.IR dirfd . +.TP +[*] By file descriptor. +The pathname points to "", the dirfd points directly to the mount object to +move or the destination mount point and the appropriate +.B *_EMPTY_PATH +flag is set. +.PP +.I flags +can be used to influence a path-based lookup. A value for +.I flags +is constructed by OR'ing together zero or more of the following constants: +.TP +.BR MOVE_MOUNT_F_EMPTY_PATH +.\" commit 65cfc6722361570bfe255698d9cd4dccaf47570d +If +.I from_pathname +is an empty string, operate on the file referred to by +.IR from_dirfd +(which may have been obtained using the +.BR open (2) +.B O_PATH +flag or +.BR open_tree ()) +If +.I from_dirfd +is +.BR AT_FDCWD , +the call operates on the current working directory. +In this case, +.I from_dirfd +can refer to any type of file, not just a directory. +This flag is Linux-specific; define +.B _GNU_SOURCE +.\" Before glibc 2.16, defining _ATFILE_SOURCE sufficed +to obtain its definition. +.TP +.B MOVE_MOUNT_T_EMPTY_PATH +As above, but operating on +.IR to_pathname " and " to_dirfd . +.TP +.B MOVE_MOUNT_F_NO_AUTOMOUNT +Don't automount the terminal ("basename") component of +.I from_pathname +if it is a directory that is an automount point. This allows a mount object +that has an automount point at its root to be moved and prevents unintended +triggering of an automount point. +The +.B MOVE_MOUNT_F_NO_AUTOMOUNT +flag has no effect if the automount point has already been mounted over. This +flag is Linux-specific; define +.B _GNU_SOURCE +.\" Before glibc 2.16, defining _ATFILE_SOURCE sufficed +to obtain its definition. +.TP +.B MOVE_MOUNT_T_NO_AUTOMOUNT +As above, but operating on +.IR to_pathname " and " to_dirfd . +This allows an automount point to be manually mounted over. +.TP +.B MOVE_MOUNT_F_SYMLINKS +If +.I from_pathname +is a symbolic link, then dereference it.
