H A D | stat.h | diff 3ad2522c64cff1f5aebb987b00683268f0cc7c29 Tue Oct 29 21:41:38 CET 2019 Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> statx: define STATX_ATTR_VERITY
Add a statx attribute bit STATX_ATTR_VERITY which will be set if the file has fs-verity enabled. This is the statx() equivalent of FS_VERITY_FL which is returned by FS_IOC_GETFLAGS.
This is useful because it allows applications to check whether a file is a verity file without opening it. Opening a verity file can be expensive because the fsverity_info is set up on open, which involves parsing metadata and optionally verifying a cryptographic signature.
This is analogous to how various other bits are exposed through both FS_IOC_GETFLAGS and statx(), e.g. the encrypt bit.
