EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_TO_STRING(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual NAME extattr_namespace_to_string, extattr_string_to_namespace - convert an extended attribute namespace identifier to a string and vice versa LIBRARY Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS #include <sys/extattr.h> int extattr_namespace_to_string(int attrnamespace, char **string); int extattr_string_to_namespace(const char *string, int *attrnamespace); DESCRIPTION The extattr_namespace_to_string() function converts a VFS extended attribute identifier to a human-readable string. The 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 EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_USER ("user") and EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_SYSTEM ("system") namespaces, which are defined in extattr(9). 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 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 extattr_string_to_namespace() to get the desired identifier. RETURN VALUES If any of the calls are unsuccessful, the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS [EINVAL] The requested namespace could not be identified. SEE ALSO getextattr(1), extattr_get_file(2), extattr_copy_file(3), extattr(9) HISTORY Extended attribute support was developed as part of the TrustedBSD Project, and introduced in FreeBSD 5.0 and NetBSD 3.0. It was developed to support security extensions requiring additional labels to be associated with each file or directory. FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE-p8 December 16, 2011 FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE-p8
