maybe this: open("/some/dir", O_TMPFILE); and this? open("/some/dir", O_TMPFILE|O_DIRECTORY);
The former would return a filehandle to a new anonymous file somewhere on whatever filesystem backs the specified path. The latter would do the same, except create an anonymous directory where you could use "openat()" or something. Presumably "lsof" and "/proc" should show either type of handle as referring to either "/some/ filesystem/" or "/some/filesystem/ (anonymous temp file)" or something.
