19 * Where available, we prefer to use the libc implementation of the xattr
20 * syscalls. However, we also support using libattr for this on systems where
21 * libc does not provide this (e.g. glibc-2.2 and older)
22 * (configure-time magic is used to select which library to link to)

50 * Linux provides extended attributes through the <sys/xattr.h> API.
51 * Any file or link can have attributes assigned to it (provided that they are
52 * supported by the backing filesystem). Each attribute has to be placed in a
53 * namespace, of which "user" is the most common. Namespaces are specified as
54 * a prefix to the attribute name, proceeded by a '.' (e.g. user.myattribute)
56 * FreeBSD provides extended attributes through the <sys/extattr.h> API.
57 * Behaviour is very similar to Linux EA's, but the namespace is specified
58 * through an enum-style parameter rather than as a prefix to an attribute
59 * name. There are also differences in the behaviour of the "list attributes"
60 * system calls.
62 * This file merges the two implementations into a single API for use by the
63 * Mono.Unix.Syscall.*xattr methods. No matter which OS you are on, things
64 * should "just work" the same as anywhere else.
66 * The API provided here leans more towards the Linux implementation. Attribute
67 * namespaces are provided as prefixes to the attribute name (followed by '.').
68 * There is no limit to the namespaces accepted by the Linux side of this
69 * implementation, but you are obviously limited to the ones available to you
70 * on the system.
71 * FreeBSD namespaces have to be converted from the textual prefix into their
72 * relevant number so that they can be used in the FreeBSD system calls.
73 * This means that the only namespaces available are the ones known by in this
74 * file (see bsd_extattr_namespaces). However, you can also specify the
75 * numericalnamespace index yourself, by using an attribute name such as
76 * "5.myattr".
77 * (this will obviously fail on Linux, your code will no longer be 'portable')
79 * Linux {,l,f}setxattr calls have a flags parameter which allow you to control
80 * what should happen if an attribute with the same name does (or doesn't)
81 * already exist. The 'flags' parameter is available here, but because FreeBSD
82 * does not support this kind of refinement, it will fail on FreeBSD if you
83 * specify anything other than XATTR_AUTO (XATTR_AUTO will create the attribute
84 * if it doesn't already exist, and overwrite the existing attribute if it
85 * already set).
87 * For usage and behaviour information, see the monodoc documentation on the
88 * Mono.Unix.Syscall class.
