+ * No copyright is claimed.  This code is in the public domain; do with
+ * it what you wish.
+ *
+ * Written by Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
+ *
+ * -- based on mount/losetup.c
+ *
+ * Simple library for work with loop devices.
+ *
+ *  - requires kernel 2.6.x
+ *  - reads info from /sys/block/loop<N>/loop/<attr> (new kernels)
+ *  - reads info by ioctl
+ *  - supports *unlimited* number of loop devices
+ *  - supports /dev/loop<N> as well as /dev/loop/<N>
+ *  - minimize overhead (fd, loopinfo, ... are shared for all operations)
+ *  - setup (associate device and backing file)
+ *  - delete (dis-associate file)
+ *  - old LOOP_{SET,GET}_STATUS (32bit) ioctls are unsupported
+ *  - extendible
