.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBfgetattr()\fR function obtains an nvlist of system attribute information
about an open file object specified by the file descriptor \fIfildes\fR,
obtained from a successful \fBopen\fR(2), \fBcreat\fR(2), \fBdup\fR(2),
\fBfcntl\fR(2), or \fBpipe\fR(2) function.
.sp
.LP
The \fBgetattrat()\fR function first opens the extended attribute file
specified by \fIfilename\fR in the already opened file directory object
specified by \fIfildes\fR. It then retrieves an nvlist of system attributes and
their values from \fIfilename\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fIresponse\fR argument is allocated by either \fBfgetattr()\fR or
\fBgetattrat()\fR. The application must call \fBnvlist_free\fR(3NVPAIR) to
deallocate the memory.
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, the nvlist will contain one nvpair for each of the
system attributes associated with \fIview\fR.  The list of views and the
attributes associated with each view are listed below.  Not all underlying file
systems support all views and all attributes. The nvlist will not contain an
nvpair for any attribute not supported by the underlying filesystem.
.sp
.LP
The \fBfsetattr()\fR function uses the nvlist pointed to by \fIrequest\fR to
update one or more of the system attribute's information about an open file
object specified by the file descriptor \fIfildes\fR, obtained from a
successful \fBopen()\fR, \fBcreat()\fR, \fBdup()\fR, \fBfcntl()\fR, or
\fBpipe()\fR function. The \fBsetattrat()\fR function first opens the extended
attribute file specified by \fIfilename\fR in the already opened file directory
object specified by \fIfildes\fR. It then uses the nvlist pointed to by
\fIrequest\fR to update one or more of the system attributes of filename.
.sp
.LP
If completion is not successful then no system attribute information is
updated.
.sp
.LP
The following chart lists the supported views, attributes, and  data types for
each view:
