The call requires an initialized struct autofs_dev_ioctl with the
ioctlfd field set to the descriptor obtained from the open call. In
-addition an immediate expire, independent of the mount timeout, can be
-requested by setting the how field of struct args_expire to 1. If no
+addition an immediate expire that's independent of the mount timeout,
+and a forced expire that's independent of whether the mount is busy,
+can be requested by setting the how field of struct args_expire to
+AUTOFS_EXP_IMMEDIATE or AUTOFS_EXP_FORCED, respectively . If no
expire candidates can be found the ioctl returns -1 with errno set to
EAGAIN.
**AUTOFS_EXP_IMMEDIATE** causes `last_used` time to be ignored
and objects are expired if the are not in use.
+ **AUTOFS_EXP_FORCED** causes the in use status to be ignored
+ and objects are expired ieven if they are in use. This assumes
+ that the daemon has requested this because it is capable of
+ performing the umount.
+
**AUTOFS_EXP_LEAVES** will select a leaf rather than a top-level
name to expire. This is only safe when *maxproto* is 4.
