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]

-.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
-Extended attributes are
|
|
-.IR name :\c
|
|
-.I 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 getxattr
|
|
-retrieves the
|
|
-.I value
|
|
-of the extended attribute identified by
|
|
-.I name
|
|
-and associated with the given
|
|
-.I path
|
|
-in the filesystem.
|
|
-The length of the attribute
|
|
-.I value
|
|
-is returned.
|
|
-.PP
|
|
-.B 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
|
|
-.B fgetxattr
|
|
-is identical to
|
|
-.BR getxattr ,
|
|
-only the open file pointed to by
|
|
-.I filedes
|
|
-(as returned by
|
|
-.BR open (2))
|
|
-is interrogated in place of
|
|
-.IR path .
|
|
-.PP
|
|
-An extended attribute
|
|
-.I name
|
|
-is a simple 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 of specified length.
|
|
-.PP
|
|
-An empty buffer of
|
|
-.I size
|
|
-zero can be passed into these calls to return the current size of the
|
|
-named extended attribute, which can be used to estimate the size of a
|
|
-buffer which is sufficiently large to hold the value associated with
|
|
-the extended attribute.
|
|
-.PP
|
|
-The interface is designed to allow guessing of initial buffer
|
|
-sizes, and to enlarge buffers when the return value indicates
|
|
-that the buffer provided was too small.
|
|
-.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
-On success, a positive number is returned indicating the size of the
|
|
-extended attribute value.
|
|
-On failure, \-1 is returned and
|
|
-.I errno
|
|
-is set appropriately.
|
|
-.PP
|
|
-If the named attribute does not exist, or the process has no access to
|
|
-this attribute,
|
|
-.I errno
|
|
-is set to ENOATTR.
|
|
-.PP
|
|
-If the
|
|
-.I size
|
|
-of the
|
|
-.I value
|
|
-buffer is too small to hold the result,
|
|
-.I errno
|
|
-is set to ERANGE.
|
|
-.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.

|
|
-retrieves the
|
|
-.I list
|
|
-of extended attribute names associated with the given
|
|
-.I path
|
|
-in the filesystem.
|
|
-The list is the set of (NULL-terminated) names, one after the other.
|
|
-Names of extended attributes to which the calling process does not
|
|
-have access may be omitted from the list.

|
-except in the case of a symbolic link, where the list of names of

-extended attributes associated with the link itself is retrieved,
|
|
-not the file that it refers to.
|

-.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
-Extended attributes are
|
|
-.IR name :\c
|
|
-.I 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 setxattr
|
|
-sets the
|
|
-.I value
|
|
-of the extended attribute identified by
|
|
-.I name
|
|
-and associated with the given
|
|
-.I path
|
|
-in the filesystem.
|
|
-The
|
|
-.I size
|
|
-of the
|
|
-.I value
|
|
-must be specified.
|
|
-.PP
|
|
-.B lsetxattr
|
|
-is identical to
|
|
-.BR setxattr ,
|
|
-except in the case of a symbolic link, where the extended attribute is
|
|
-set on the link itself, not the file that it refers to.
|
|
-.PP
|
|
-.B fsetxattr
|
|
-is identical to
|
|
-.BR setxattr ,
|
|
-only the extended attribute is set on 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.
|
|
-The
|
|
-.I value
|
|
-of an extended attribute is a chunk of arbitrary textual or
|
|
-binary data of specified length.
|
|
-.PP
|
|
-The
|
|
-.I flags
|
|
-parameter can be used to refine the semantics of the operation.
|
|
-XATTR_CREATE specifies a pure create, which fails if the named
|
|
-attribute exists already.
|
|
-XATTR_REPLACE specifies a pure replace operation, which fails if the
|
|
-named attribute does not already exist.
|
|
-By default (no flags), the extended attribute will be created if
|
|
-need be, or will simply replace the value if the attribute exists.
|
|
-.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
-On success, zero is returned.
|
|
-On failure, \-1 is returned and
|
|
-.I errno
|
|
-is set appropriately.
|
|
-.PP
|
|
-If XATTR_CREATE is specified, and the attribute exists already,
|
|
-.I errno
|
|
-is set to EEXIST.
|
|
-If XATTR_REPLACE is specified, and the attribute does not exist,
|
|
-.I errno
|
|
-is set to ENOATTR.
|
|
-.PP
|
|
-If there is insufficient space remaining to store the extended attribute,
|
|
-.I errno
|
|
-is set to either ENOSPC, or EDQUOT if quota enforcement was the cause.
|
|
-.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.
