NS_GET_NSTYPE(2const)                               NS_GET_NSTYPE(2const)
       NS_GET_NSTYPE - discovering the namespace type
       #include <linux/nsfs.h>  /* Definition of NS_GET_NSTYPE */
       #include <sys/ioctl.h>
       int ioctl(int fd, NS_GET_NSTYPE);
       The NS_GET_NSTYPE operation can be used to discover the type of
       namespace referred to by the file descriptor fd.
       fd refers to a /proc/pid/ns/* file.
       On success, the return value is one of the CLONE_NEW* values that
       can be specified to clone(2) or unshare(2) in order to create a
       namespace.
       On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.
