RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

NEW PASS:
man-pages-overrides-7.7.3-1.el7

#man open_by_handle_at
..

NAME
       name_to_handle_at, open_by_handle_at - obtain handle for a pathname and open file via a handle

SYNOPSIS
       #define _GNU_SOURCE         /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <sys/stat.h>
       #include <fcntl.h>

       int name_to_handle_at(int dirfd, const char *pathname,
                             struct file_handle *handle,
                             int *mount_id, int flags);

       int open_by_handle_at(int mount_fd, struct file_handle *handle,
                             int flags);

DESCRIPTION
       The  name_to_handle_at()  and open_by_handle_at() system calls split the functionality of openat(2) into two parts: name_to_handle_at() returns an opaque handle that corresponds
       to a specified file; open_by_handle_at() opens the file corresponding to a handle returned by a previous call to name_to_handle_at() and returns an open file descriptor.

   name_to_handle_at()
       The name_to_handle_at() system call returns a file handle and a mount ID corresponding to the file specified by the dirfd and pathname arguments.  The file  handle  is  returned
       via the argument handle, which is a pointer to a structure of the following form:
....
