-.SH DESCRIPTION
-Extended attributes are
-.IR name :\c
-.I value
-pairs associated with inodes (files, directories, symbolic links, 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 xattr (7).
-.PP
-.BR getxattr ()
-retrieves the value of the extended attribute identified by
-.I name
-and associated with the given
-.I path
-in the filesystem.
-The attribute value is placed in the buffer pointed to by
-.IR value ;
-.I size
-specifies the size of that buffer.
-The return value of the call is the number of bytes placed in
-.IR value .
-.PP
-.BR lgetxattr ()
-is identical to
-.BR getxattr (),
-except in the case of a symbolic link, where the link itself is
-interrogated, not the file that it refers to.
-.PP
-.BR fgetxattr ()
-is identical to
-.BR getxattr (),
-only the open file referred to by
-.I fd
-(as returned by
-.BR open (2))
-is interrogated in place of
-.IR path .
-.PP
-An extended attribute
-.I name
-is a null-terminated string.
-The name includes a namespace prefix; there may be several, disjoint
-namespaces associated with an individual inode.
-The value of an extended attribute is a chunk of arbitrary textual or
-binary data that was assigned using
-.BR setxattr (2).
-.PP
-If
-.I size
-is specified as zero, these calls return the current size of the
-named extended attribute (and leave
-.I value
-unchanged).
-This can be used to determine the size of the buffer that
-should be supplied in a subsequent call.
-(But, bear in mind that there is a possibility that the
-attribute value may change between the two calls,
-so that it is still necessary to check the return status
-from the second call.)
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-On success, these calls return a nonnegative value which is
-the size (in bytes) of the extended attribute value.
-On failure, \-1 is returned and
-.I errno
-is set to indicate the error.
-.SH ERRORS
-.TP
-.B E2BIG
-The size of the attribute value is larger than the maximum size allowed; the
-attribute cannot be retrieved.
-This can happen on filesystems that support
-very large attribute values such as NFSv4, for example.
-.TP
-.B ENODATA
-The named attribute does not exist, or the process has no access to
-this attribute.
-.\" .RB ( ENOATTR
-.\" is defined to be a synonym for
-.\" .BR ENODATA
-.\" in
-.\" .IR <attr/attributes.h> .)
-.TP
-.B ENOTSUP
-Extended attributes are not supported by the filesystem, or are disabled.
-.TP
-.B ERANGE
-The
-.I size
-of the
-.I value
-buffer is too small to hold the result.
-.PP
-In addition, the errors documented in
-.BR stat (2)
-can also occur.
-.SH STANDARDS
-Linux.
