Extension trait to manipulate extended attributes on File-like objects.

Provided Methods

fn get_xattr<N>(&self, name: N) -> Result<Option<Vec<u8>>> where
    N: AsRef<OsStr>, 

Get an extended attribute for the specified file.

fn set_xattr<N>(&self, name: N, value: &[u8]) -> Result<()> where
    N: AsRef<OsStr>, 

Set an extended attribute on the specified file.

fn remove_xattr<N>(&self, name: N) -> Result<()> where
    N: AsRef<OsStr>, 

Remove an extended attribute from the specified file.

fn list_xattr(&self) -> Result<XAttrs>

List extended attributes attached to the specified file.

Note: this may not list all attributes. Speficially, it definitely won’t list any trusted attributes unless you are root and it may not list system attributes.
