Jens Schweikhardt c1f3e4bf21 Removed whitespace at end-of-line; no content changes. I simply did
cd src/share; find man[1-9] -type f|xargs perl -pi -e 's/[ \t]+$//'

BTW, what editors are the culprits? I'm using vim and it shows
me whitespace at EOL in troff files with a thick blue block...

.Sh NAME
.Nm VOP_GETEXTATTR
.Nd retrieve named extended attribute from a vnode
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <sys/param.h>
.Fd #include <sys/vnode.h>
.Fd #include <sys/extattr.h>
.Ft int
.Fn VOP_GETEXTATTR "struct vnode *vp" "int attrnamespace" "const char *name" "struct uio *uio" "struct ucred *cred" "struct proc *p"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
This vnode call may be used to retrieve a specific named extended attribute
from a file or directory.
.Pp
Its arguments are:
.Bl -tag -width type
.It Fa vp
the vnode of the file or directory
.It Ar attrnamespace
integer constant indicating which extended attribute namespace the attribute
name is present in
.It Fa name
pointer to a null-terminated character string containing the attribute name
.It Fa uio
the location of the data to be read or written
.It Fa cred
the user credentials to use in authorizing the request
.It Fa p
the process requesting the extended attribute
.El
.Pp
The
.Fa cred
pointer may be
.Dv NULL
to indicate that access control checks are not to be performed, if possible.
This
.Fa cred
setting might be used to allow the kernel to authorize extended attribute
retrieval that the active process might not be permitted to do.
.Pp
Extended attribute semantics may vary by file system implementing the call.
More information on extended attributes may be found in
.Xr extattr 9 .
.Sh LOCKS
The vnode will be locked on entry and should remain locked on return.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
On success, zero will be returned, and the uio structure will be updated to
reflect data read. Otherwise, an appropriate error code is returned.
.Sh ERRORS
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er ENOENT
The attribute name is not defined for this vnode
.It Bq Er EACCES
Permission denied
.It Bq Er ENXIO
The request was not valid in this file system for the specified vnode and
attribute name.
.It Bq Er ENOMEM
Insufficient memory available to fulfill request
.It Bq Er EFAULT
The uio structure refers to an invalid userspace address.
.It Bq Er EINVAL
The
.Fa name
or
.Fa uio
argument is invalid.
.It Bq Er EOPNOTSUPP
The file system does not support
