Description Michael Kerrisk 2009-08-27 09:45:52 UTC 
The Linux kernel defines the following unmount() flags (in include/linux/fs.h):

#define MNT_FORCE       0x00000001      /* Attempt to forcibily umount */
#define MNT_DETACH      0x00000002      /* Just detach from the tree */
#define MNT_EXPIRE      0x00000004      /* Mark for expiry */

Glibc exposes the MNT_FORCE flag in <sys/moun.t>, but not the other two flags.

The other two flags are nevertherless useful to userland, and should be defined
in glibc. MNT_DETACH is available since Linux 2.4.11. MNT_EXPIRE is available
since Linux 2.6.11.
