[PATCH 1/1] docs: Clarify formatting for 'fmode' and 'dmode' |
Date: |
Tue, 6 Oct 2020 21:25:01 +0100 |
Explictly state that the 'fmode' and 'dmode' values for a fsdev/virtfs
must be formatted with a preceeding 0 to be interpreted as base-8.
Currently the code will parse a value like "644" as base-10 which leads
to unexpected behavior.
