135 .\"O An extended attribute
137 .\"O is a simple null-terminated string.
138 .\"O The name includes a namespace prefix; there may be several, disjoint
139 .\"O namespaces associated with an individual inode.
140 .\"O The value of an extended attribute is a chunk of arbitrary textual or
141 .\"O binary data of specified length.

150 .\"O An empty buffer of
152 .\"O zero can be passed into these calls to return the current size of the
153 .\"O named extended attribute, which can be used to estimate the size of a
154 .\"O buffer which is sufficiently large to hold the value associated with
155 .\"O the extended attribute.
