The minimum required seems to be to have chdir(2) and stat(2) for
// and //MACHINE. Initially stat could report the permissions as x only.
That seems very easy if we don't check the existence of MACHINE.
(After all, any MACHINE could be there. Failures would occur only
when trying to access).
In a later phase the permissions could be rx, in which case readdir(2)
should
work and network scanning becomes necessary.
