[Bug 1804185] Re: glibc has statx support in 18.10, but the manpage claims otherwise

[Murukesh Mohanan]

I see, thanks! Since http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/statx.2.html
has the same note, I though t it might have slipped past unnoticed.
Thanks again!

Title:
  glibc has statx support in 18.10, but the manpage claims otherwise

Status in manpages package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Glibc added statx support in 2.28 [1], the same version used in 18.10.
  But `man 2 statx` still has:

  > NOTES
  >       Glibc  does  not  (yet)  provide  a  wrapper  for  the  statx() system call; call it using
  >       syscall(2).

  I have tested it, and I can directly use `statx(2)` in 18.10. This
  note should be removed.
