A "junction" is a physical filesystem object that contains an NFS
referral. On Linux, a junction is a directory with special mode bits
that has an extended attribute containing referral location
information, represented as XML.
A junction can contain either a list of target locations, or it
can contain the location of an LDAP directory entry where the actual
referral information is maintained. The former is called an "NFS
basic junction", the latter is a "FedFS junction".
libjunction contains support for reading or updating a junction
that resides on an NFS server.
