GETXATTR(2)                Linux Programmer's Manual               GETXATTR(2)

NAME
       getxattr, lgetxattr, fgetxattr - retrieve an extended attribute value

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <sys/xattr.h>

       ssize_t getxattr(const char *path, const char *name,
                        void *value, size_t size);
       ssize_t lgetxattr(const char *path, const char *name,
                        void *value, size_t size);
       ssize_t fgetxattr(int fd, const char *name,
                        void *value, size_t size);

DESCRIPTION
       Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes (files,
       directories,  symbolic links, etc.).  They are extensions to the normal
       attributes which are associated with all inodes in  the  system  (i.e.,
       the stat(2) data).  A complete overview of extended attributes concepts
       can be found in xattr(7).

       getxattr()  retrieves the value of the extended attribute identified by
       name and associated with the given path in  the  filesystem.   The  at‐
       tribute  value is placed in the buffer pointed to by value; size speci‐
       fies the size of that buffer.  The return value of the call is the num‐
       ber of bytes placed in value.

       lgetxattr() is identical to getxattr(), except in the case  of  a  sym‐
       bolic link, where the link itself is interrogated, not the file that it
       refers to.

       fgetxattr()  is identical to getxattr(), only the open file referred to
       by fd (as returned by open(2)) is interrogated in place of path.

       An extended attribute name is a null-terminated string.  The  name  in‐
       cludes  a  namespace  prefix; there may be several, disjoint namespaces
       associated with an individual inode.  The  value  of  an  extended  at‐
       tribute  is  a  chunk  of arbitrary textual or binary data that was as‐
       signed using setxattr(2).

       If size is specified as zero, these calls return the  current  size  of
       the  named extended attribute (and leave value unchanged).  This can be
       used to determine the size of the buffer that should be supplied  in  a
       subsequent  call.   (But, bear in mind that there is a possibility that
       the attribute value may change between the two calls,  so  that  it  is
       still necessary to check the return status from the second call.)

RETURN VALUE
       On  success,  these  calls return a nonnegative value which is the size
       (in bytes) of the extended attribute value.  On failure, -1 is returned
       and errno is set appropriately.

ERRORS
       E2BIG  The size of the attribute value is larger than the maximum  size
              allowed;  the attribute cannot be retrieved.  This can happen on
              filesystems that support very large  attribute  values  such  as
              NFSv4, for example.

       ENODATA
              The named attribute does not exist, or the process has no access
              to this attribute.

       ENOTSUP
              Extended  attributes are not supported by the filesystem, or are
              disabled.

       ERANGE The size of the value buffer is too small to hold the result.

       In addition, the errors documented in stat(2) can also occur.

VERSIONS
       These system calls have been available on Linux since kernel 2.4; glibc
       support is provided since version 2.3.

CONFORMING TO
       These system calls are Linux-specific.

EXAMPLE
       See listxattr(2).
