fgetattr, fsetattr, getattrat, setattrat - get and set system attributes

#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <attr.h>
#include <sys/nvpair.h>

int fgetattr(int fildes, xattr_view_t view,nvlist_t **response);

int fsetattr(int fildes, xattr_view_t view,nvlist_t *request)

int getattrat(int fildes, xattr_view_t view, const char *filename,
 nvlist_t **response);

int setattrat(int fildes, xattr_view_t view, const char *filename,
 nvlist_t *request);

The fgetattr() function obtains an nvlist of system attribute information about an open file object specified by the file descriptor fildes, obtained from a successful open(2), creat(2), dup(2), fcntl(2), or pipe(2) function.

The getattrat() function first opens the extended attribute file specified by filename in the already opened file directory object specified by fildes. It then retrieves an nvlist of system attributes and their values from filename.

The response argument is allocated by either fgetattr() or getattrat(). The application must call nvlist_free(3NVPAIR) to deallocate the memory.

Upon successful completion, the nvlist will contain one nvpair for each of the system attributes associated with view. 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.

The fsetattr() function uses the nvlist pointed to by request to update one or more of the system attribute's information about an open file object specified by the file descriptor fildes, obtained from a successful open(), creat(), dup(), fcntl(), or pipe() function. The setattrat() function first opens the extended attribute file specified by filename in the already opened file directory object specified by fildes. It then uses the nvlist pointed to by request to update one or more of the system attributes of filename.

If completion is not successful then no system attribute information is updated.

The following chart lists the supported views, attributes, and data types for each view:

View Attribute Data type

XATTR_VIEW_READONLY A_FSID uint64_value

A_OPAQUE boolean_value

A_AV_SCANSTAMP uint8_array[]

XATTR_VIEW_READWRITE A_READONLY boolean_value

A_HIDDEN boolean_value

A_SYSTEM boolean_value

A_ARCHIVE boolean_value

A_CRTIME uint64_array[2]

A_NOUNLINK boolean_value

A_IMMUTABLE boolean_value

A_APPENDONLY boolean_value

A_NODUMP boolean_value

A_AV_QUARANTINED boolean_value

A_AV_MODIFIED boolean_value

A_OWNERSID

nvlist composed of uint32_value and string

A_GROUPSID

nvlist composed of uint32_value and string

A_OFFLINE boolean_value

A_SPARSE boolean_value

Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

The fgetattr(), getattrat(), fsetattr(), and setattrat(), functions will fail if: EBADF

EINVAL EIO

The getattrat() and setattrat() functions will fail if: EACCES

ENOENT EPERM

Example 1 Obtain an nvlist of readonly system attributes for an open file object.

Use fgetattr() to obtain an nvlist of the readonly system attributes for the open file object represented by file descriptor fildes.

#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <attr.h>
#include <sys/nvpair.h>

nvlist_t *response;
nvpair_t *pair = NULL;

if (fgetattr(fildes, XATTR_VIEW_READONLY, &response)) {
 exit(1);
}
while (pair = nvlist_next_nvpair(response, pair)) {
 .
 .
 .
}
nvlist_free(response);

Example 2 Set the A_READONLY system attribute on an open file object.

Use fsetattr() to set the A_OPAQUE system attribute on the open file object represented by file descriptor fildes.

nvlist_t *request;
nvpair_t *pair = NULL;

if (nvlist_alloc(&request, NV_UNIQUE_NAME, 0) != 0) {
 exit(1);
}
if (nvlist_add_boolean_value(request, A_READONLY, 1) != 0) {
 exit(1);
}
if (fsetattr(fildes, XATTR_VIEW_READWRITE, request)) {
 exit(1);
}

Example 3 Obtain an nvlist of the read/write system attributes for a file.

Use getattrat() to obtain an nvlist of the read/write system attributes for the file named xattrfile in the extended attribute directory of the open file represented by file descriptor fildes.

nvlist_t *response;
nvpair_t *pair = NULL;

if (getattrat(fildes, XATTR_VIEW_READWRITE, "file", &response)) {
 exit(1);
}
while (pair = nvlist_next_nvpair(response, pair)) {
 .
 .
 .
}
nvlist_free(response);

Example 4 Set the A_APPENDONLY system attribute on a file.

Use setattrat() to set the A_APPENDONLY system attribute on the file named file in the extended attribute directory of the open file represented by file descriptor fildes.

nvlist_t *request;
nvpair_t *pair = NULL;

if (nvlist_alloc(&request, NV_UNIQUE_NAME, 0) != 0) {
 exit(1);
}
if (nvlist_add_boolean_value(request, A_APPENDONLY, 1) != 0) {
 exit(1);
}
if (setattrat(fildes, XATTR_VIEW_READWRITE, "file", request)) {
 exit(1);
 }
