I've been told that RESOLVE_* flags, which can be found in linux/openat2.h, should be used instead of the equivalent AT_* flags for new system calls. Is this the case?
If so, should we comment them as being deprecated in the header file? And should they be in linux/fcntl.h rather than linux/openat2.h?
Also:
(*) It should be noted that the RESOLVE_* flags are not a superset of the AT_* flags (there's no equivalent of AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT for example).
(*) It has been suggested that AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW should be the default, but only RESOLVE_NO_SYMLINKS exists.
