Add an AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag to suppress terminal automount
Add an AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag to suppress terminal automounting of automount point directories. This can be used by fstatat() users to permit the gathering of attributes on an automount point and also prevent mass-automounting of a directory of automount points by ls.
