Function rustix::fs::statx

pub fn statx<P: Arg, Fd: AsFd>(
    dirfd: Fd,
    path: P,
    flags: AtFlags,
    mask: StatxFlags,
) -> Result<Statx>

statx(dirfd, path, flags, mask, statxbuf)

This function returns io::Errno::NOSYS if statx is not available on the platform, such as Linux before 4.11. This also includes older Docker versions where the actual syscall fails with different error codes; rustix handles this and translates them into NOSYS.
