46but writes will replace the entire current "value" associated with
47a given name. As there are a plethora of file systems with differing
48extended attributes, availability and functionality of these functions
49may be limited, and they should be used with awareness of the underlying
50semantics of the supporting file system. Authorization schemes for
51extended attribute data may also vary by file system, as well as
52maximum attribute size, and whether or not any or specific new attributes
53may be defined.
