-Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Remove the section 2 man pages
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Commit 8d1263bca95722d66a6f8e83450f49d0956ea534 from upstream
|
|
|
-https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/git/attr.git/
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The section 2 man pages have long since been added to the man-pages package
|
|
|
-which documents all system calls; they were disabled in attr by default since
|
|
|
-January 2014. Get rid of them here.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Upstream-Status: Backport
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-[MA: modified to apply directly to v2.4.47]

--is identical to

--.PP
|
|
|
--The interface is designed to allow guessing of initial buffer

--.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
--Extended attributes are
|
|
|
--.IR name :\c
|
|
|
--value pairs associated with inodes (files, directories, symlinks, etc).
|
|
|
--They are extensions to the normal attributes which are associated
|
|
|
--with all inodes in the system (i.e. the
|
|
|
--.BR stat (2)
|
|
|
--data).
|
|
|
--A complete overview of extended attributes concepts can be found in
|
|
|
--.BR attr (5).
|
|
|
--.PP
|
|
|
--.B removexattr
|
|
|
--removes the extended attribute identified by
|
|
|
--.I name
|
|
|
--and associated with the given
|
|
|
--.I path
|
|
|
--in the filesystem.
|
|
|
--.PP
|
|
|
--.B lremovexattr
|
|
|
--is identical to
|
|
|
--.BR removexattr ,
|
|
|
--except in the case of a symbolic link, where the extended attribute is
|
|
|
--removed from the link itself, not the file that it refers to.
|
|
|
--.PP
|
|
|
--.B fremovexattr
|
|
|
--is identical to
|
|
|
--.BR removexattr ,
|
|
|
--only the extended attribute is removed from the open file pointed to by
|
|
|
--.I filedes
|
|
|
--(as returned by
|
|
|
--.BR open (2))
|
|
|
--in place of
|
|
|
--.IR path .
|
|
|
--.PP
|
|
|
--An extended attribute name is a simple NULL-terminated string.
|
|
|
--The
|
|
|
--.I name
|
|
|
--includes a namespace prefix \- there may be several, disjoint
|
|
|
--namespaces associated with an individual inode.
|
|
|
--.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
|
--On success, zero is returned.
|
|
|
--On failure, \-1 is returned and
|
|
|
--.I errno
|
|
|
--is set appropriately.
|
|
|
--.PP
|
|
|
--If the named attribute does not exist,
|
|
|
--.I errno
|
|
|
--is set to ENOATTR.
|
|
|
--.PP
|
|
|
--If extended attributes are not supported by the filesystem, or are disabled,
|
|
|
--.I errno
|
|
|
--is set to ENOTSUP.
|
|
|
--.PP
|
|
|
--The errors documented for the
|
|
|
--.BR stat (2)
|
|
|
--system call are also applicable here.
