python_linuxfs <https://gitlab.com/ldo/python_linuxfs> is a set of
Python modules providing higher-level wrappers around various
Linux-specific system APIs. Some of these already have support in the
“os” module in the standard Python library, but most don’t. Even for
the ones that do, I think my wrappers are nicer to use, because they
avoid the requirement for working with bitmasks and use sets of
symbolic bit enums instead (with easy conversions between both forms).

The package is split into five modules:

  * linuxfs -- file/directory functions and common utilities used by
    other modules
  * linuxacl -- access-control-list functions
  * linuxmount -- enhanced Linux mount API
  * linuxpriv -- privilege control, i.e. the Linux landlock API
  * linuxproc -- process control: prctl (selected), pidfd,
    signalfd and signal mask sets, namespaces
