110-.TH ATTR 5
111-.SH NAME
112-attr - Extended attributes
113-.SH DESCRIPTION
114-Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated permanently with
115-files and directories, similar to the environment strings associated
116-with a process.
117-An attribute may be defined or undefined.
118-If it is defined, its value may be empty or non-empty.
119-.PP
120-Extended attributes are extensions to the normal attributes which are
121-associated with all inodes in the system (i.e. the
122-.BR stat (2)
123-data).
124-They are often used to provide additional functionality
125-to a filesystem \- for example, additional security features such as
126-Access Control Lists (ACLs) may be implemented using extended attributes.
127-.PP
128-Users with search access to a file or directory may retrieve a list of
129-attribute names defined for that file or directory.
130-.PP
131-Extended attributes are accessed as atomic objects.
132-Reading retrieves the whole value of an attribute and stores it in a buffer.
133-Writing replaces any previous value with the new value.
134-.PP
135-Space consumed for extended attributes is counted towards the disk quotas
136-of the file owner and file group.
137-.PP
138-Currently, support for extended attributes is implemented on Linux by the
139-ext2, ext3, ext4, XFS, JFS and reiserfs filesystems.
140-.SH EXTENDED ATTRIBUTE NAMESPACES
141-Attribute names are zero-terminated strings.
142-The attribute name is always specified in the fully qualified
143-.IR namespace.attribute
144-form, eg.
145-.IR user.mime_type ,
146-.IR trusted.md5sum ,
147-.IR system.posix_acl_access ,
148-or
149-.IR security.selinux .
150-.PP
151-The namespace mechanism is used to define different classes of extended
152-attributes.
153-These different classes exist for several reasons, e.g. the permissions
154-and capabilities required for manipulating extended attributes of one
155-namespace may differ to another.
156-.PP
157-Currently the
158-.IR security ,
159-.IR system ,
160-.IR trusted ,
161-and
162-.IR user
163-extended attribute classes are defined as described below. Additional
164-classes may be added in the future.
165-.SS Extended security attributes
166-The security attribute namespace is used by kernel security modules,
167-such as Security Enhanced Linux.
168-Read and write access permissions to security attributes depend on the
169-policy implemented for each security attribute by the security module.
170-When no security module is loaded, all processes have read access to
171-extended security attributes, and write access is limited to processes
172-that have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability.
173-.SS Extended system attributes
174-Extended system attributes are used by the kernel to store system
175-objects such as Access Control Lists and Capabilities. Read and write
176-access permissions to system attributes depend on the policy implemented
177-for each system attribute implemented by filesystems in the kernel.
178-.SS Trusted extended attributes
179-Trusted extended attributes are visible and accessible only to processes that
180-have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability (the super user usually has this
181-capability).
182-Attributes in this class are used to implement mechanisms in user
183-space (i.e., outside the kernel) which keep information in extended attributes
184-to which ordinary processes should not have access.
185-.SS Extended user attributes
186-Extended user attributes may be assigned to files and directories for
187-storing arbitrary additional information such as the mime type,
188-character set or encoding of a file. The access permissions for user
189-attributes are defined by the file permission bits.
190-.PP
191-The file permission bits of regular files and directories are
192-interpreted differently from the file permission bits of special files
193-and symbolic links. For regular files and directories the file
194-permission bits define access to the file's contents, while for device special
195-files they define access to the device described by the special file.
196-The file permissions of symbolic links are not used in access
197-checks. These differences would allow users to consume filesystem resources in
198-a way not controllable by disk quotas for group or world writable special files and directories.
199-.PP
200-For this reason, extended user attributes are only allowed for regular files and directories, and access to extended user attributes is restricted to the
201-owner and to users with appropriate capabilities for directories with the
202-sticky bit set (see the
203-.BR chmod (1)
204-manual page for an explanation of Sticky Directories).
205-.SH FILESYSTEM DIFFERENCES
206-The kernel and the filesystem may place limits on the maximum number
207-and size of extended attributes that can be associated with a file.
208-Some file systems, such as ext2/3 and reiserfs, require the filesystem
209-to be mounted with the
210-.B user_xattr
211-mount option in order for extended user attributes to be used.
212-.PP
213-In the current ext2, ext3 and ext4 filesystem implementations, each
214-extended attribute must fit on a single filesystem block (1024, 2048
215-or 4096 bytes, depending on the block size specified when the
216-filesystem was created).
217-.PP
218-In the XFS and reiserfs filesystem implementations, there is no
219-practical limit on the number or size of extended attributes
220-associated with a file, and the algorithms used to store extended
221-attribute information on disk are scalable.
222-.PP
223-In the JFS filesystem implementation, names can be up to 255 bytes and
224-values up to 65,535 bytes.
225-.SH ADDITIONAL NOTES
226-Since the filesystems on which extended attributes are stored might also
227-be used on architectures with a different byte order and machine word
228-size, care should be taken to store attribute values in an architecture
229-independent format.

133-.SH DESCRIPTION
134-Extended attributes are
135-.IR name :\c
136-.I value
137-pairs associated with inodes (files, directories, symlinks, etc).
138-They are extensions to the normal attributes which are associated
139-with all inodes in the system (i.e. the
140-.BR stat (2)
141-data).
142-A complete overview of extended attributes concepts can be found in
143-.BR attr (5).
144-.PP
145-.B getxattr
146-retrieves the
147-.I value
148-of the extended attribute identified by
149-.I name
150-and associated with the given
151-.I path
152-in the filesystem.
153-The length of the attribute
154-.I value
155-is returned.
156-.PP
157-.B lgetxattr
158-is identical to
159-.BR getxattr ,
160-except in the case of a symbolic link, where the link itself is
161-interrogated, not the file that it refers to.
162-.PP
163-.B fgetxattr
164-is identical to
165-.BR getxattr ,
166-only the open file pointed to by
167-.I filedes
168-(as returned by
169-.BR open (2))
170-is interrogated in place of
171-.IR path .
172-.PP
173-An extended attribute
174-.I name
175-is a simple NULL-terminated string.
176-The name includes a namespace prefix \- there may be several, disjoint
177-namespaces associated with an individual inode.
178-The value of an extended attribute is a chunk of arbitrary textual or
179-binary data of specified length.
180-.PP
181-An empty buffer of
182-.I size
183-zero can be passed into these calls to return the current size of the
184-named extended attribute, which can be used to estimate the size of a
185-buffer which is sufficiently large to hold the value associated with
186-the extended attribute.
187-.PP
188-The interface is designed to allow guessing of initial buffer
189-sizes, and to enlarge buffers when the return value indicates
190-that the buffer provided was too small.
191-.SH RETURN VALUE
192-On success, a positive number is returned indicating the size of the
193-extended attribute value.
194-On failure, \-1 is returned and
195-.I errno
196-is set appropriately.
197-.PP
198-If the named attribute does not exist, or the process has no access to
199-this attribute,
200-.I errno
201-is set to ENOATTR.
202-.PP
203-If the
204-.I size
205-of the
206-.I value
207-buffer is too small to hold the result,
208-.I errno
209-is set to ERANGE.
210-.PP
211-If extended attributes are not supported by the filesystem, or are disabled,
212-.I errno
213-is set to ENOTSUP.
214-.PP
215-The errors documented for the
216-.BR stat (2)
217-system call are also applicable here.

282-.SH DESCRIPTION
283-Extended attributes are name:value
284-pairs associated with inodes (files, directories, symlinks, etc).
285-They are extensions to the normal attributes which are associated
286-with all inodes in the system (i.e. the
287-.BR stat (2)
288-data).
289-A complete overview of extended attributes concepts can be found in
290-.BR attr (5).
291-.PP
292-.B listxattr
293-retrieves the
294-.I list
295-of extended attribute names associated with the given
296-.I path
297-in the filesystem.
298-The list is the set of (NULL-terminated) names, one after the other.
299-Names of extended attributes to which the calling process does not
300-have access may be omitted from the list.
301-The length of the attribute name
302-.I list
303-is returned.
304-.PP
305-.B llistxattr
306-is identical to
307-.BR listxattr ,
308-except in the case of a symbolic link, where the list of names of
309-extended attributes associated with the link itself is retrieved,
310-not the file that it refers to.
311-.I list
312-is a caller-allocated buffer of size
313-.IR size .
314-.PP
315-.B flistxattr
316-is identical to
317-.BR listxattr ,
318-only the open file pointed to by
319-.I filedes
320-(as returned by
321-.BR open (2))
322-is interrogated in place of
323-.IR path .
324-.PP
325-A single extended attribute
326-.I name
327-is a simple NULL-terminated string.
328-The name includes a namespace prefix \- there may be several, disjoint
329-namespaces associated with an individual inode.
330-.PP
331-An empty buffer of
332-.I size
333-zero can be passed into these calls to return the current size of the
334-list of extended attribute names, which can be used to estimate the
335-size of a buffer which is sufficiently large to hold the list of names.
336-.SH EXAMPLES
337-The
338-.I list
339-of names is returned as an unordered array of NULL-terminated character
340-strings (attribute names are separated by NULL characters), like this:
341-.fam C
342-.RS
343-.nf
344-user.name1\\0system.name1\\0user.name2\\0
345-.fi
346-.RE
347-.fam T
348-.P
349-Filesystems like ext2, ext3 and XFS which implement POSIX ACLs using
350-extended attributes, might return a
351-.I list
352-like this:
353-.fam C
354-.RS
355-.nf
356-system.posix_acl_access\\0system.posix_acl_default\\0
357-.fi
358-.RE
359-.fam T
360-.SH RETURN VALUE
361-On success, a positive number is returned indicating the size of the
362-extended attribute name list.
363-On failure, \-1 is returned and
364-.I errno
365-is set appropriately.
366-.PP
367-If the
368-.I size
369-of the
370-.I list
371-buffer is too small to hold the result,
372-.I errno
373-is set to ERANGE.
374-.PP
375-If extended attributes are not supported by the filesystem, or are disabled,
376-.I errno
377-is set to ENOTSUP.
378-.PP
379-The errors documented for the
380-.BR stat (2)
381-system call are also applicable here.
