 * xattr_operation_intent_t is used to declare what the intent of the copy is.
 * Not a bit-field (for now, at least).
 *
 * XATTR_OPERATION_INTENT_COPY indicates that the EA is attached to an object
 * that is simply being copied.  E.g., cp src dst
 *
 * XATTR_OPERATION_INTENT_SAVE indicates that the EA is attached to an object
 * being saved; as in a "safe save," the destination is being replaced by
 * the source, so the question is whether the EA should be applied to the
 * destination, or generated anew.
 *
 * XATTR_OPERATION_INTENT_SHARE  indicates that the EA is attached to an object that
 * is being given out to other people.  For example, saving to a public folder,
 * or attaching to an email message.
 *
 * XATTR_OPERATION_INTENT_SYNC  indicates that the EA is attached to an object that
 * is being synced to other storages for the same user.  For example synced to
 * iCloud.
