.Sh NAME

|

|
|
.Nd convert an extended attribute namespace identifier to a string and vice versa

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/extattr.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn extattr_namespace_to_string "int attrnamespace" "char **string"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn extattr_string_to_namespace "const char *string" "int *attrnamespace"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn extattr_namespace_to_string
|
|
function converts a VFS extended attribute identifier to a human-readable
|
|
string.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn extattr_string_to_namespace
|
|
converts a human-readable string representing a namespace to a
|
|
namespace identifier.
|
|
Although a file system may implement arbitrary namespaces,
|
|
these functions only support the
|
|
.Dv EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_USER
|
|
.Pq Dq user
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_SYSTEM
|
|
.Pq Dq system
|
|
namespaces,
|
|
which are defined in
|
|
.Xr extattr 9 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
These functions are meant to be used in error reporting and other
|
|
interactive tasks.
|
|
For example,
|
|
instead of printing the integer identifying an extended attribute in
|
|
an error message,
|
|
a program might use
|
|
.Fn extattr_namespace_to_string
|
|
to obtain a human-readable representation.
|
|
Likewise,
|
|
instead of requiring a user to enter the integer representing a namespace,
|
|
an interactive program might ask for a name and use
|
|
.Fn extattr_string_to_namespace
|
|
to get the desired identifier.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If any of the calls are unsuccessful, the value \-1 is returned
|
|
and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The requested namespace could not be identified.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
Extended attribute support was developed as part of the
|
|
.Tn TrustedBSD
|
|
Project, and introduced in
|
|
.Fx 5.0
|
|
and
|
|
.Nx 3.0 .
|
|
It was developed to support security extensions requiring additional labels
|
|
to be associated with each file or directory.
