Hi, one point for man 1 getextattr and against me:
The abort on the first file without attributes could be a feature, if one is willing to count a non-existing requested attribute as an error. Option -f overrides this early abort. So my change proposal about line 376 is not needed. (It was not complete anyway.) ----------------------------------------------------------------- One could discuss whether a missing attribute is really an error. Linux, which has more experience with using xattr, only issues warnings but does not indicate error: $ getfattr -n user.uerg x x x: user.uerg: No such attribute y: user.uerg: No such attribute $ echo $? 0 In contrast to a missing file: $ getfattr -n user.uerg xyz x getfattr: xyz: No such file or directory x: user.uerg: No such attribute $ echo $? 1 Have a nice day :) Thomas
