.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm getextattr
Add -h flags to each of the *extattr(8) commands, indicating that the command should not follow the symlink if the target file is a symlink. Invoke the extattr_*_link(2) version of the system call in that situation, instead of extattr_*_file(2). This is consistent with other attribute management tools in the system.
