42 This vnode call may be used to set specific named extended attribute for a
48 the vnode of the file or directory
50 pointer to a null-terminated character string containing the attribute name
52 the location of the data to be read or written
54 the user credentials to use in authorizing the request
56 the process setting the extended attribute
59 The uio structure is used in a manner similar to the argument of the same
62 However, as extended attributes provide a strict "name=value" semantic,
63 non-zero offsets will be rejected.
69 to indicate that the specified extended attribute should be deleted.
75 to indicate that access control checks are not to be performed, if possible.
78 setting might be used to allow the kernel to authorize extended attribute
79 changes that the active process might not be permitted to make.
81 Extended attribute semantics may vary by file system implementing the call.
82 More information on extended attributes may be found in
85 The vnode will be locked on entry and should remain locked on return.
87 If the extended attribute is successfully set, then zero is returned.
88 Otherwise, an appropriate error code is returned.
94 The request was not valid in this file system for the specified vnode and
97 Insufficient memory available to fulfill request
99 The uio structure refers to an invalid userspace address
101 The name or uio argument is invalid
103 The file system does not support
106 The file system is out of space
108 The file system is read-only
