5Description:
6		(RO) Shows if the device is in autoclear mode or not ( "1" or
7		"0"). Autoclear (if set) indicates that the loopback device will
8		self-distruct after last close.

37Description:
38		(RO) Shows if automatic partition scanning is enabled for the
39		device or not ("1" or "0"). This can be requested individually
40		per loop device during its setup by setting LO_FLAGS_PARTSCAN in
41		in the ioctl request. By default, no partition tables are
42		scanned.
