 FS_IOC_GET_ENCRYPTION_PWSALT is deprecated.  Instead, prefer to
 generate and manage any needed salt(s) in userspace.
 
+Getting a file's encryption nonce
+---------------------------------
+
+Since Linux v5.7, the ioctl FS_IOC_GET_ENCRYPTION_NONCE is supported.
+On encrypted files and directories it gets the inode's 16-byte nonce.
+On unencrypted files and directories, it fails with ENODATA.
+
+This ioctl can be useful for automated tests which verify that the
+encryption is being done correctly.  It is not needed for normal use
+of fscrypt.
