VOP_LISTEXTATTR(9)	 BSD Kernel Developer's	Manual	    VOP_LISTEXTATTR(9)

NAME
     VOP_LISTEXTATTR --	retrieve a list	of named extended attribute from a vn-
     ode

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/param.h>
     #include <sys/vnode.h>
     #include <sys/extattr.h>

     int
     VOP_LISTEXTATTR(struct vnode *vp, int attrnamespace, struct uio *uio,
	 size_t	*size, struct ucred *cred, struct thread *td);

DESCRIPTION
     This vnode	call may be used to retrieve a list of named extended at-
     tributes from a specified namespace on a file or directory.

     Its arguments are:

     vp		    The	vnode of the file or directory.

     attrnamespace  Integer constant indicating	which extended attribute name-
		    space the attribute	name is	present	in.

     uio	    The	location of the	data to	be read.  The resulting	data
		    will be a list of attribute	names.	Each list entry	con-
		    sists of a single byte containing the length of the	attri-
		    bute name, followed	by the attribute name.	The attribute
		    name is not	terminated by ASCII NUL.

     size	    If not NULL, on return it will contain the number of bytes
		    required to	read the list.	In most	cases uio will be NULL
		    when size is not, and vise versa.

     cred	    The	user credentials to use	in authorizing the request.

     td		    The	thread requesting the extended attribute.

     The cred pointer may be NULL to indicate that access control checks are
     not to be performed, if possible.	This cred setting might	be used	to al-
     low the kernel to authorize extended attribute retrieval that the active
     process might not be permitted to do.

     Extended attribute	semantics may vary by file system implementing the
     call.  More information on	extended attributes may	be found in
     extattr(9).

LOCKS
     The vnode will be locked on entry and should remain locked	on return.

RETURN VALUES
     On	success, zero will be returned,	and the	uio structure will be updated
     to	reflect	the list read.	Otherwise, an appropriate error	code is	re-
     turned.

ERRORS
     [EACCES]		The caller does	not have the appropriate privilege.

     [ENXIO]		The request was	not valid in this file system for the
			specified vnode	and attribute name.

     [ENOMEM]		Sufficient memory is not available to fulfill the re-
			quest.

     [EFAULT]		The uio	structure refers to an invalid userspace ad-
			dress.

     [EINVAL]		The namespace or uio argument is invalid.

     [EOPNOTSUPP]	The file system	does not support VOP_LISTEXTATTR().
