man attr_remove (Fonctions bibliothèques) - remove a user attribute of a filesystem object

NAME

attr_remove, attr_removef - remove a user attribute of a filesystem object

C SYNOPSIS

#include <attr/attributes.h>

int attr_remove (const char *path, const char *attrname, int flags);

int attr_removef (int fd, const char *attrname, int flags);
 []

DESCRIPTION

The attr_remove and attr_removef functions provide a way to remove previously created attributes from filesystem objects.

Path points to a path name for a filesystem object, and fd refers to the file descriptor associated with a file. If the attribute attrname exists, the attribute name and value will be removed from the fileystem object. The flags argument can contain the following symbols bitwise OR'ed together:

%ATTR_ROOT Look for attrname in the root address space, not in the user address space. (limited to use by super-user only)
%ATTR_DONTFOLLOW Do not follow symbolic links when resolving a path on an attr_remove function call. The default is to follow symbolic links.

attr_remove will fail if one or more of the following are true:

%[ENOATTR] The attribute name given is not associated with the indicated filesystem object.
%[ENOENT] The named file does not exist.
%[EPERM] The effective user ID does not match the owner of the file and the effective user ID is not super-user.
%[ENOTDIR] A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
%[EACCES] Search permission is denied on a component of the path prefix.
%[EINVAL] A bit was set in the flag argument that is not defined for this system call.
%[EFAULT] Path points outside the allocated address space of the process.
%[ELOOP] A path name lookup involved too many symbolic links.
%[ENAMETOOLONG] The length of path exceeds {MAXPATHLEN}, or a pathname component is longer than {MAXNAMELEN}.

attr_removef will fail if:

%[ENOATTR] The attribute name given is not associated with the indicated filesystem object.
%[EINVAL] A bit was set in the flag argument that is not defined for this system call, or fd refers to a socket, not a file.
%[EFAULT] Attrname points outside the allocated address space of the process.
%[EBADF] Fd does not refer to a valid descriptor.

DIAGNOSTICS

On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
