What is that word you keep using I can't find a definition for it.
It is a medical term, a rare defect during fetus development. Such
children are lacking brain and spinal cord. They usually die within
less than a month after birth.
Can you please stick to plain simple English. I'm a native English
speaker and I can't follow what you mean, there are lots of people on
this list who are not native speakers.

There is no way for a shell script to read, write, rename or delete an
attribute file. Applications without special support for the openat()
API have no way to access the files either. All utilities, including
those needed for backup and administration, need to be made XATTR
aware - something which is unique in the whole history of Unix. No
other file system change required such a drastic step yet.
Applications started with runat(1) do not have a proper parent
directory which confuses most applications and causes crashes.
