+ help
+ If you say Y here, a user level program will be able to map
+ file names to handle and then later use the handle for
+ different file system operations. This is useful in implementing
+ userspace file servers, which now track files using handles instead
+ of names. The handle would remain the same even if file names
+ get renamed. Enables open_by_handle_at(2) and name_to_handle_at(2)
+ syscalls.
