/**
* Provide a uniform C++ API for extended file attributes on Linux/FreeBSD
* and MacOSX.
*
* We only deal with user attributes. Other namespaces are very
* system-specific and would be difficult to use in a portable way.
*
* Linux and FreeBSD treat differently the attributes name space
* segmentation: Linux uses the first name segment ("user.", "system.", ...),
* FreeBSD uses an enumeration.
*
* We handle this by using only domain-internal names in the interface:
* that is, the caller specifies the names as, ie, 'org.myapp.somename'
* not 'user.org.myapp.somename'. pxattr will deal with adding/removing
* the 'user.' part as needed.
*
* MacOsX does not segment the attribute name space.
*
* In order to avoid conflicts, it is recommended that attributes
* names be chosen in a "reverse dns" fashion, ie:
* org.recoll.indexing.status
*
* The interface provided should work the same way on all 3 systems,
* it papers over such differences as the "list" output format,
* the existence of CREATE/UPDATE distinctions, etc.
*
* Diagnostics: all functions return false on error, and preserve the errno
* value or set it as appropriate.
*
* For path-based interfaces, the PXATTR_NOFOLLOW flag can be set to decide if
* symbolic links will be acted on or followed.
