Sorry about this question, I just realised that getxattr gets the
name of the extended attribute as a parameter... So that is what I
should put on the attrList. Carefully reading man is useful :/

First of all, thanks to Matt for all this help. It makes my job
much easier :)
So I've started trying to put some code on sysxattrs.c. I've
created another case as suggested by Matt:
#elif HAVE_PRE_TIGER_OSX_ATTRS
And I'm trying to convert getxattr system calls to getattrlist. But
I have some doubts, hope you can help me.
As I understood the getxattr system call gives you ALL the extended
attributes (in the limit of the size of the buffer that you given).
In getattrlist you provides a list of which attributes you want...
Well, should I put in this list all the attributes or only
ressource fork related?
I also see attributes like creation, modification, access date that
can be retrieved by a stat call.
Do rsync do this stat call for other attributes or do I have to
copy this data to?
In other words, which extended attributes are important to preserve?
My preoccupation is with doing 2 times the same job, but also with
compatibility with newer versions. I would like to patch it the
best way possible (if there is no significant coding difference).
Best regards,
Vitorio
