|
|
.Nd set named extended attribute for a vnode
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/param.h
|
|
.In sys/vnode.h
|
|
.In sys/extattr.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn VOP_SETEXTATTR "struct vnode *vp" "int attrnamespace" "const char *name" "struct uio *uio" "struct ucred *cred" "struct thread *td"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This vnode call may be used to set specific named extended attribute for a
|
|
file or directory.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Its arguments are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width type
|
|
.It Fa vp
|
|
the vnode of the file or directory
|
|
.It Fa 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 td
|
|
the thread setting the extended attribute
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The uio structure is used in a manner similar to the argument of the same
|
|
name in
|
|
.Xr VOP_WRITE .
|
|
However, as extended attributes provide a strict "name=value" semantic,
|
|
non-zero offsets will be rejected.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa uio
|
|
pointer may be
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
to indicate that the specified extended attribute should be deleted.
|
|
.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
|
|
changes that the active process might not be permitted to make.
|
|
.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
|
|
If the extended attribute is successfully set, then zero is returned.
|
|
Otherwise, an appropriate error code is returned.
|
|
