# 248995 02-Apr-2013 mdf

Fix return type of extattr_set_* and fix rmextattr(8) utility.

extattr_set_{fd,file,link} is logically a write(2)-like operation and
should return ssize_t, just like extattr_get_*. Also, the user-space
utility was using an int for the return value of extattr_get_* and
extattr_list_*, both of which return an ssize_t.

# 115802 04-Jun-2003 rwatson

that the old API (passing "" as the attribute name to the _get_
interface) is now deprecated (and was probably a bad idea).

mdoc(7) police: Tidy up the syscall language.

Stop calling system calls "function calls".

Use "The .Fn system call" a-la "The .Nm utility".

When referring to a non-BSD implementation in
the HISTORY section, call syscall a function,
to be safe.
