* This access right is available since the second version of the Landlock
* ABI.
*
* This is the only access right which is denied by default by any ruleset,
* even if the right is not specified as handled at ruleset creation time.
* The only way to make a ruleset grant this right is to explicitly allow it
* for a specific directory by adding a matching rule to the ruleset.
*
* In particular, when using the first Landlock ABI version, Landlock will
* always deny attempts to reparent files between different directories.
*
* In addition to the source and destination directories having the
* %LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER access right, the attempted link or rename
* operation must meet the following constraints:
*
* * The reparented file may not gain more access rights in the destination
* directory than it previously had in the source directory. If this is
* attempted, the operation results in an ``EXDEV`` error.
*
* * When linking or renaming, the ``LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_*`` right for the
* respective file type must be granted for the destination directory.
* Otherwise, the operation results in an ``EACCES`` error.
*
* * When renaming, the ``LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REMOVE_*`` right for the
* respective file type must be granted for the source directory. Otherwise,
* the operation results in an ``EACCES`` error.
*
* If multiple requirements are not met, the ``EACCES`` error code takes
* precedence over ``EXDEV``.
