40 .Sh DESCRIPTION
41 The
42 .Fn getattrlist
43 function returns attributes (that is, metadata) of file system objects.
44 .Fn getattrlist
45 works on the file system object named by
46 .Fa path ,
47 while
48 .Fn fgetattrlist
49 works on the provided file descriptor
50 .Fa fd .
51 .Pp
52 The
53 .Fn getattrlistat
54 system call is equivalent to
55 .Fn getattrlist
56 except in the case where
57 .Fa path
58 specifies a relative path.
59 In this case the attributes are returned for the file system object named by
60 path relative to the directory associated with the file descriptor
61 .Fa fd
62 instead of the current working directory.
63 If
64 .Fn getattrlistat
65 is passed the special value
66 .Dv AT_FDCWD
67 in the
68 .Fa fd
69 parameter, the current working directory is used and the behavior is
70 identical to a call to
71 .Fn getattrlist .
72 .Pp
73 You can think of
74 .Fn getattrlist
75 as a seriously enhanced version of
76 .Xr stat 2 .
77 The functions return attributes about the specified file system object
78 into the buffer specified by
79 .Fa attrBuf
80 and
81 .Fa attrBufSize .
82 The
83 .Fa attrList
84 parameter determines what attributes are returned.
85 The
86 .Fa options
87 parameter lets you control specific aspects of the function's behavior.
88 .Pp
89 .
90 Not all volumes support all attributes.
91 See the discussion of
92 .Dv ATTR_VOL_ATTRIBUTES
93 for a discussion of how to determine whether a particular volume supports a
94 particular attribute.
95 .Pp
96 Furthermore, you should only request the attributes that you need.
97 Some attributes are expensive to calculate on some volume formats.
98 For example,
99 .Dv ATTR_DIR_ENTRYCOUNT
100 is usually expensive to calculate on non-HFS [Plus] volumes.
101 If you don't need a particular attribute, you should not ask for it.
102 .Pp
103 .
104 .\" path parameter
105 .
106 The
107 .Fa path
108 parameter must reference a valid file system object.
109 Read, write or execute permission of the object itself is not required, but
110 all directories listed in the path name leading to the object must be
111 searchable.
112 .Pp
113 .
114 .\" attrList parameter
115 .
116 The
117 .Fa attrList
118 parameter is a pointer to an
119 .Vt attrlist
120 structure, as defined by
121 .Aq Pa sys/attr.h
122 (shown below).
123 It determines what attributes are returned by the function.
124 You are responsible for filling out all fields of this structure before calling the function.

141 .\" attrlist elements
142 .
143 The fields of the
144 .Vt attrlist
145 structure are defined as follows.
146 .Bl -tag -width XXXbitmapcount
147 .
148 .It bitmapcount
149 Number of attribute bit sets in the structure.
150 In current systems you must set this to
151 .Dv ATTR_BIT_MAP_COUNT .
152 .
153 .It reserved
154 Reserved.
155 You must set this to 0.
156 .
157 .It commonattr
158 A bit set that specifies the common attributes that you require.
159 Common attributes relate to all types of file system objects.
160 See below for a description of these attributes.
161 .
162 .It volattr
163 A bit set that specifies the volume attributes that you require.
164 Volume attributes relate to volumes (that is, mounted file systems).
165 See below for a description of these attributes.
166 If you request volume attributes,
167 .Fa path
168 must reference the root of a volume.
169 In addition, you can't request volume attributes if you also request
170 file or directory attributes.
171 .
172 .It dirattr
173 A bit set that specifies the directory attributes that you require.
174 See below for a description of these attributes.
175 .
176 .It fileattr
177 A bit set that specifies the file attributes that you require.
178 See below for a description of these attributes.
179 .
180 .It forkattr
181 A bit set that specifies the fork attributes that you require.
182 Fork attributes relate to the actual data in the file,
183 which can be held in multiple named contiguous ranges, or forks.
184 See below for a description of these attributes.
185 If the FSOPT_ATTR_CMN_EXTENDED option is given, this bit set is reinterpreted
186 as extended common attributes attributes, also described below.
187 .
188 .El
189 .Pp
190 .
191 Unless otherwise noted in the lists below, attributes are read-only.
192 Attributes labelled as read/write can be set using
193 .Xr setattrlist 2 .
194 .Pp
195 .
196 .\" attrBuf and attrBufSize parameters
197 .
198 The
199 .Fa attrBuf
200 and
201 .Fa attrBufSize
202 parameters specify a buffer into which the function places attribute values.
203 The format of this buffer is sufficiently complex that its description
204 requires a separate section (see below).
205 The initial contents of this buffer are ignored.
206 .Pp
207 .
208 .\" option parameter
209 .
210 The
211 .Fa options
212 parameter is a bit set that controls the behaviour of
213 the functions.
214 The following option bits are defined.
215 .
216 .Bl -tag -width FSOPT_PACK_INVAL_ATTRS
217 .
218 .It FSOPT_NOFOLLOW
219 If this bit is set,
220 .Fn getattrlist
221 will not follow a symlink if it occurs as
222 the last component of
223 .Fa path .
224 .
225 .It FSOPT_REPORT_FULLSIZE
226 The size of the attributes reported (in the first
227 .Vt u_int32_t
228 field in the attribute buffer) will be the size needed to hold all the
229 requested attributes; if not set, only the attributes actually returned
230 will be reported. This allows the caller to determine if any truncation
231 occurred.
232 .
233 .It FSOPT_PACK_INVAL_ATTRS
234 If this is bit is set, then all requested attributes, even ones that are
235 not supported by the object or file system, will be returned. Default values
236 will be used for the invalid ones. Requires that
237 .Dv ATTR_CMN_RETURNED_ATTRS
238 be requested.
239 .
240 .It FSOPT_ATTR_CMN_EXTENDED
241 If this is bit is set, then
242 .Dv ATTR_CMN_GEN_COUNT
243 and
244 .Dv ATTR_CMN_DOCUMENT_ID
245 can be requested. When this option is used, forkattrs are reinterpreted as a
246 set of extended common attributes.
247 .
248 .El
249 .
250 .Sh ATTRIBUTE BUFFER
251 .
252 The data returned in the buffer described by
253 .Fa attrBuf
254 and
255 .Fa attrBufSize
256 is formatted as follows.
257 .Pp
258 .
259 .Bl -enum
260 .
261 .It
262 The first element of the buffer is a
263 .Vt u_int32_t
264 that contains the overall length, in bytes, of the attributes returned.
265 This size includes the length field itself.
266 .
267 .It
268 Following the length field is a list of attributes.
269 Each attribute is represented by a field of its type,
270 where the type is given as part of the attribute description (below).
271 .
272 .It
273 The attributes are placed into the attribute buffer in the order
274 that they are described below.
275 .
276 .It
277 Each attribute is aligned to a 4-byte boundary (including 64-bit data types).
278 .El
279 .Pp
280 .
281 If the attribute is of variable length, it is represented
282 in the list by an
283 .Vt attrreference
284 structure, as defined by
285 .Aq Pa sys/attr.h
286 (shown below).
287 .
288 .Bd -literal
289 typedef struct attrreference {
290 int32_t attr_dataoffset;
291 u_int32_t attr_length;
292 } attrreference_t;
293 .Ed
294 .Pp
295 .
296 This structure contains a 'pointer' to the variable length attribute data.
297 The
298 .Fa attr_length
299 field is the length of the attribute data (in bytes).
300 The
301 .Fa attr_dataoffset
302 field is the offset in bytes from the
303 .Vt attrreference
304 structure
305 to the attribute data.
306 This offset will always be a multiple of sizeof(u_int32_t) bytes,
307 so you can safely access common data types without fear of alignment
308 exceptions.
309 .Pp
310 .
311 The
312 .Fn getattrlist
313 function will silently truncate attribute data if
314 .Fa attrBufSize
315 is too small.
316 The length field at the front of the attribute list always represents
317 the length of the data actually copied into the attribute buffer.
318 If the data is truncated, there is no easy way to determine the
319 buffer size that's required to get all of the requested attributes.
320 You should always pass an
321 .Fa attrBufSize
322 that is large enough to accommodate the known size of the attributes
323 in the attribute list (including the leading length field).
324 .Pp
325 .
326 Because the returned attributes are simply truncated if the buffer is
327 too small, it's possible for a variable length attribute to reference
328 data beyond the end of the attribute buffer. That is, it's possible
329 for the attribute data to start beyond the end of the attribute buffer
330 (that is, if
331 .Fa attrRef
332 is a pointer to the
333 .Vt attrreference_t ,
334 ( ( (char *)
335 .Fa attrRef
336 ) +
337 .Fa attr_dataoffset
338 ) > ( ( (char *)
339 .Fa attrBuf
340 ) +
341 .Fa attrSize
342 ) ) or, indeed, for the attribute data to extend beyond the end of the attribute buffer (that is,
343 ( ( (char *)
344 .Fa attrRef
345 ) +
346 .Fa attr_dataoffset
347 +
348 .Fa attr_datalength
349 ) > ( ( (char *)
350 .Fa attrBuf
351 ) +
352 .Fa attrSize
353 ) ).
354 If this happens you must increase the size of the buffer and call
355 .Fn getattrlist
356 to get an accurate copy of the attribute.
357 .
358 .Sh COMMON ATTRIBUTES
359 .
360 Common attributes relate to all types of file system objects.
361 The following common attributes are defined.
362 .
363 .Bl -tag -width ATTR_VOL_ALLOCATIONCLUMP
364 .
365 .It ATTR_CMN_RETURNED_ATTRS
366 An
367 .Vt attribute_set_t
368 structure which is used to report which of the requested attributes
369 were actually returned. This attribute, when requested, will always
370 be the first attribute returned. By default, unsupported attributes
371 will be skipped (i.e. not packed into the output buffer). This behavior
372 can be over-ridden using the FSOPT_PACK_INVAL_ATTRS option flag. Both
373 .Xr getattrlist 2 and
374 .Xr getatttrlistbulk 2 support this attribute while
375 .Xr searchfs 2 does not.
376 .
377 .It ATTR_CMN_NAME
378 An
379 .Vt attrreference
380 structure containing the name of the file system object as
381 UTF-8 encoded, null terminated C string.
382 The attribute data length will not be greater than
383 .Dv NAME_MAX
384 + 1 characters, which is
385 .Dv NAME_MAX
386 * 3 + 1 bytes (as one UTF-8-encoded character may
387 take up to three bytes).
388 .Pp
389 .
390 .It ATTR_CMN_DEVID
391 A
392 .Vt dev_t
393 containing the device number of the device on which this
394 file system object's volume is mounted.
395 Equivalent to the
396 .Fa st_dev
397 field of the
398 .Vt stat
399 structure returned by
400 .Xr stat 2 .
401 .
402 .It ATTR_CMN_FSID
403 An
404 .Vt fsid_t
405 structure containing the file system identifier for the volume on which
406 the file system object resides.
407 Equivalent to the
408 .Fa f_fsid
409 field of the
410 .Vt statfs
411 structure returned by
412 .Xr statfs 2 .
413 .
414 .It ATTR_CMN_OBJTYPE
415 An
416 .Vt fsobj_type_t
417 that identifies the type of file system object.
418 The values are taken from
419 .Vt enum vtype
420 in
421 .Aq Pa sys/vnode.h .
422 .
423 .It ATTR_CMN_OBJTAG
424 An
425 .Vt fsobj_tag_t
426 that identifies the type of file system containing the object.
427 The values are taken from
428 .Vt enum vtagtype
429 in
430 .Aq Pa sys/vnode.h .
431 .
432 .It ATTR_CMN_OBJID
433 An
434 .Vt fsobj_id_t
435 structure that uniquely identifies the file system object within a mounted
436 volume for the duration of it's mount; this identifier is not guaranteed to be
437 persistent for the volume and may change every time the volume is mounted.
438 .Pp
439 On HFS+ volumes, the ATTR_CMN_OBJID of a file system object is distinct from
440 the ATTR_CMN_OBJID of any hard link to that file system object. Although the
441 ATTR_CMN_OBJID of a file system object may appear similar (in whole
442 or in part) to it's ATTR_CMN_FILEID (see description of ATTR_CMN_FILEID below),
443 \fBno relation between the two attributes should ever be implied.\fP
444 .Pp
445 ATTR_CMN_OBJID is deprecated sarting with macOS 10.13, iOS 11.0, watchOS 4.0 and
446 tvOS 11.0 and ATTR_CMNEXT_LINKID should be used in its place.
447 ATTR_CMN_OBJID can only be used on older operating systems only if the file
448 system doesn't 64 bit IDs. See the
449 .Fn getLinkIDInfo
450 function in the EXAMPLES section.
451 .
452 .It ATTR_CMN_OBJPERMANENTID
453 An
454 .Vt fsobj_id_t
455 structure that uniquely and persistently identifies the file system object
456 within its volume; persistence implies that this attribute is unaffected by
457 mount/unmount operations on the volume.
458 .Pp
459 Some file systems can not return this attribute when the volume is mounted
460 read-only and will fail the request with error
461 .Dv EROFS.
462 .br
463 (e.g. original HFS modifies on disk structures to generate persistent
464 identifiers, and hence cannot do so if the volume is mounted read only.)
465 .
466 .It ATTR_CMN_PAROBJID
467 An
468 .Vt fsobj_id_t
469 structure that uniquely identifies the parent directory of the file system
470 object within a mounted volume, for the duration of the volume mount; this
471 identifier is not guaranteed to be persistent for the volume and may change
472 every time the volume is mounted.
473 .Pp
474 .
475 If a file system object is hard linked from multiple directories, the parent
476 directory returned for this attribute is non deterministic; it can be any one
477 of the parent directories of this object.
478 .
479 For some volume formats the computing cost for this attribute is significant;
480 developers are advised to request this attribute sparingly.
481 .
482 .It ATTR_CMN_SCRIPT
483 (read/write) A
484 .Vt text_encoding_t
485 containing a text encoding hint for
486 the file system object's name.
487 It is included to facilitate the lossless round trip conversion of names between
488 Unicode and traditional Mac OS script encodings.
489 File systems that do not have an appropriate text encoding value should return
490 kTextEncodingMacUnicode.
491 .
492 .It ATTR_CMN_CRTIME
493 (read/write) A
494 .Vt timespec
495 structure containing the time that the file system object
496 was created.
497 .
498 .It ATTR_CMN_MODTIME
499 (read/write) A
500 .Vt timespec
501 structure containing the time that the file system object
502 was last modified.
503 Equivalent to the
504 .Fa st_mtimespec
505 field of the
506 .Vt stat
507 structure returned by
508 .Xr stat 2 .
509 .
510 .It ATTR_CMN_CHGTIME
511 A
512 .Vt timespec
513 structure containing the time that the file system object's
514 attributes were last modified.
515 Equivalent to the
516 .Fa st_ctimespec
517 field of the
518 .Vt stat
519 structure returned by
520 .Xr stat 2 .
521 .
522 .It ATTR_CMN_ACCTIME
523 (read/write) A
524 .Vt timespec
525 structure containing the time that the file system object
526 was last accessed.
527 Equivalent to the
528 .Fa st_atimespec
529 field of the
530 .Vt stat
531 structure returned by
532 .Xr stat 2 .
533 .
534 .It ATTR_CMN_BKUPTIME
535 (read/write) A
536 .Vt timespec
537 structure containing the time that the file system object was
538 last backed up.
539 This value is for use by backup utilities.
540 The file system stores but does not interpret the value.
541 .
542 .It ATTR_CMN_FNDRINFO
543 (read/write) 32 bytes of data for use by the Finder.
544 Equivalent to the concatenation of a
545 .Vt FileInfo
546 structure and an
547 .Vt ExtendedFileInfo
548 structure
549 (or, for directories, a
550 .Vt FolderInfo
551 structure and an
552 .Vt ExtendedFolderInfo
553 structure).
554 .Pp
555 This attribute is not byte swapped by the file system.
556 The value of multibyte fields on disk is always big endian.
557 When running on a little endian system (such as Darwin on x86),
558 you must byte swap any multibyte fields.
559 .
560 .It ATTR_CMN_OWNERID
561 (read/write) A
562 .Vt uid_t
563 containing the owner of the file system object.
564 Equivalent to the
565 .Fa st_uid
566 field of the
567 .Vt stat
568 structure returned by
569 .Xr stat 2 .
570 .
571 .It ATTR_CMN_GRPID
572 (read/write) A
573 .Vt gid_t
574 containing the group of the file system object.
575 Equivalent to the
576 .Fa st_gid
577 field of the
578 .Vt stat
579 structure returned by
580 .Xr stat 2 .
581 .
582 .It ATTR_CMN_ACCESSMASK
583 (read/write) A
584 .Vt u_int32_t
585 containing the access permissions of the file system object.
586 Equivalent to the
587 .Fa st_mode
588 field of the
589 .Vt stat
590 structure returned by
591 .Xr stat 2 .
592 Only the permission bits of
593 .Fa st_mode
594 are valid; other bits should be ignored,
595 e.g., by masking with
596 .Dv ~S_IFMT .
597 .
598 .It ATTR_CMN_FLAGS
599 (read/write) A
600 .Vt u_int32_t
601 containing file flags.
602 Equivalent to the
603 .Fa st_flags
604 field of the
605 .Vt stat
606 structure returned by
607 .Xr stat 2 .
608 For more information about these flags, see
609 .Xr chflags 2 .
610 .
611 .It ATTR_CMN_GEN_COUNT
612 A
613 .Vt u_int32_t
614 containing a non zero monotonically increasing generation
615 count for this file system object. The generation count tracks
616 the number of times the data in a file system object has been
617 modified. No meaning can be implied from its value. The
618 value of the generation count for a file system object can
619 be compared against a previous value of the same file system
620 object for equality; i.e. an unchanged generation
621 count indicates identical data. Requesting this attribute requires the
622 FSOPT_ATTR_CMN_EXTENDED option flag.
623 .Pp
624 .
625 A generation count value of 0 is invalid and cannot be used to
626 determine data change.
627 .Pp
628 The generation count is invalid while a file is mmap'ed. An invalid
629 generation count value of 0 will be returned for mmap'ed files.
630 .
631 .It ATTR_CMN_DOCUMENT_ID
632 A
633 .Vt u_int32_t
634 containing the document id. The document id is a value assigned
635 by the kernel to a document (which can be a file or directory)
636 and is used to track the data regardless of where it gets moved.
637 The document id survives safe saves; i.e it is sticky to the path it
638 was assigned to. Requesting this attribute requires the
639 FSOPT_ATTR_CMN_EXTENDED option flag.
640 .Pp

1286 .It VOL_CAP_FMT_HARDLINKS
1287 If this bit is set the volume format supports hard links.
1288 .
1289 .It VOL_CAP_FMT_JOURNAL
1290 If this bit is set the volume format supports a journal used to
1291 speed recovery in case of unplanned restart (such as a power outage
1292 or crash).
1293 This does not necessarily mean the volume is actively using a journal.
1294 .Pp
1295 Introduced with Darwin 7.0 (Mac OS X version 10.3).
1296 .
1297 .It VOL_CAP_FMT_JOURNAL_ACTIVE
1298 If this bit is set the volume is currently using a journal for
1299 speedy recovery after an unplanned restart.
1300 This bit can be set only if
1301 .Dv VOL_CAP_FMT_JOURNAL
1302 is also set.
1303 .Pp
1304 Introduced with Darwin 7.0 (Mac OS X version 10.3).
1305 .
1306 .It VOL_CAP_FMT_NO_ROOT_TIMES
1307 If this bit is set the volume format does not store reliable times for
1308 the root directory, so you should not depend on them to detect changes,
1309 identify volumes across unmount/mount, and so on.
1310 .Pp
1311 Introduced with Darwin 7.0 (Mac OS X version 10.3).
1312 .
1313 .It VOL_CAP_FMT_SPARSE_FILES
1314 If this bit is set the volume format supports sparse files,
1315 that is, files which can have 'holes' that have never been written
1316 to, and thus do not consume space on disk.
1317 A sparse file may have an allocated size on disk that is less than its logical length (that is,
1318 .Dv ATTR_FILE_ALLOCSIZE
1319 <
1320 .Dv ATTR_FILE_TOTALSIZE ).
1321 .
1322 .Pp
1323 Introduced with Darwin 7.0 (Mac OS X version 10.3).
1324 .
1325 .It VOL_CAP_FMT_ZERO_RUNS
1326 For security reasons, parts of a file (runs) that have never been
1327 written to must appear to contain zeroes.
1328 When this bit is set, the volume keeps track of allocated but unwritten
1329 runs of a file so that it can substitute zeroes without actually
1330 writing zeroes to the media.
1331 This provides performance similar to sparse files, but not the space savings.
1332 .Pp
1333 Introduced with Darwin 7.0 (Mac OS X version 10.3).
1334 .
1335 .It VOL_CAP_FMT_CASE_SENSITIVE
1336 If this bit is set the volume format treats upper and lower case
1337 characters in file and directory names as different.
1338 Otherwise an upper case character is equivalent to a lower case character,
1339 and you can't have two names that differ solely in the case of
1340 the characters.
1341 .Pp
1342 Introduced with Darwin 7.0 (Mac OS X version 10.3).
1343 .
1344 .It VOL_CAP_FMT_CASE_PRESERVING
1345 If this bit is set the volume format preserves the case of
1346 file and directory names.
1347 Otherwise the volume may change the case of some characters
1348 (typically making them all upper or all lower case).
1349 A volume that sets
1350 .Dv VOL_CAP_FMT_CASE_SENSITIVE
1351 must also set
1352 .Dv VOL_CAP_FMT_CASE_PRESERVING .
1353 .Pp
1354 Introduced with Darwin 7.0 (Mac OS X version 10.3).
1355 .
1356 .It VOL_CAP_FMT_FAST_STATFS
1357 This bit is used as a hint to upper layers to
1358 indicate that
1359 .Xr statfs 2
1360 is fast enough that its results need not be cached by the caller.
1361 A volume format implementation that caches the
1362 .Xr statfs 2
1363 information in memory should set this bit.
1364 An implementation that must always read from disk or always perform a network
1365 transaction to satisfy
1366 .Xr statfs 2
1367 should not set this bit.
1368 .Pp
1369 Introduced with Darwin 7.0 (Mac OS X version 10.3).
1370 .
1371 .It VOL_CAP_FMT_2TB_FILESIZE
1372 If this bit is set the volume format supports file sizes larger
1373 than 4GB, and potentially up to 2TB; it does not indicate
1374 whether the file system supports files larger than that.
1375 .Pp
1376 Introduced with Darwin 8.0 (Mac OS X version 10.4).
1377 .
1378 .It VOL_CAP_FMT_OPENDENYMODES
1379 If this bit is set, the volume format supports open deny modes
1380 (e.g., "open for read write, deny write").
1381 .
1382 .It VOL_CAP_FMT_HIDDEN_FILES
1383 If this bit is set, the volume format supports the
1384 .Dv UF_HIDDEN
1385 file flag, and the
1386 .Dv UF_HIDDEN
1387 flag is mapped to that volume's native "hidden" or "invisible"
1388 bit (e.g., the invisible bit from the Finder Info extended attribute).
1389 .
1390 .It VOL_CAP_FMT_PATH_FROM_ID
1391 If this bit is set, the volume format supports the ability to derive a pathname
1392 to the root of the file system given only the ID of an object. This also
1393 implies that object IDs on this file system are persistent and not recycled.
1394 Most file systems will not support this capability.
1395 .
1396 .It VOL_CAP_FMT_NO_VOLUME_SIZES
1397 If this bit is set the volume format does not support
1398 determining values for total data blocks, available blocks, or free blocks, as in
1399 .Fa f_blocks,
1400 .Fa f_bavail,
1401 and
1402 .Fa f_bfree
1403 in the
1404 .Fa struct statfs
1405 returned by
1406 .Xr statfs 2 .
1407 Historically, those values were set to 0xFFFFFFFF for volumes
1408 that did not support them.
1409 .Pp
1410 Introduced with Darwin 10.0 (Mac OS X version 10.6).
1411 .
1412 .It VOL_CAP_FMT_64BIT_OBJECT_IDS
1413 If this bit is set, the volume format uses object IDs that are 64-bit.
1414 This means that ATTR_CMN_FILEID and ATTR_CMN_PARENTID are the primary means of
1415 obtaining object IDs from this volume. The values returned by ATTR_CMN_OBJID,
1416 ATTR_CMN_OBJPERMANENTID, and ATTR_CMN_PAROBJID can be interpreted as 64-bit
1417 object IDs instead of fsobj_id_t.
1418 .
1419 .It VOL_CAP_FMT_NO_IMMUTABLE_FILES
1420 If this bit is set, the volume format does not support setting the UF_IMMUTABLE
1421 flag.
1422 See ATTR_CMN_FLAGS for more details.
1423 .It VOL_CAP_FMT_NO_PERMISSIONS
1424 If this bit is set, the volume format does not support setting file
1425 permissions.

1594 .
1595 The
1596 .Fa validattr
1597 field consists of a number of bit sets that indicate whether an attribute is
1598 supported by the volume format implementation.
1599 The
1600 .Fa nativeattr
1601 is similar except that the bit sets indicate whether an attribute is supported
1602 natively by the volume format.
1603 An attribute is supported natively if the volume format implementation does not have to do
1604 any complex conversions to access the attribute.
1605 For example, a volume format might support persistent object identifiers, but
1606 doing so requires a complex table lookup that is not part of the core volume
1607 format.
1608 In that case, the
1609 .Dv ATTR_VOL_ATTRIBUTES
1610 attribute would return
1611 .Dv ATTR_CMN_OBJPERMANENTID
1612 set in the
1613 .Fa validattr
1614 field of the

1625 .
1626 .Sh COMPATIBILITY
1627 Not all volumes support
1628 .Fn getattrlist .
1629 The best way to test whether a volume supports this function is to
1630 simply call it and check the error result.
1631 .Fn getattrlist
1632 will return
1633 .Dv ENOTSUP
1634 if it is not supported on a particular volume.
1635 .Pp
1636 .
1637 The
1638 .Fn getattrlist
1639 function has been undocumented for more than two years.
1640 In that time a number of volume format implementations have been created without
1641 a proper specification for the behaviour of this routine.
1642 You may encounter volume format implementations with slightly different
1643 behaviour than what is described here.
1644 Your program is expected to be tolerant of this variant behaviour.
1645 .Pp
1646 .
1647 If you're implementing a volume format that supports

1761 If you request any volume attributes, you must set
1762 .Dv ATTR_VOL_INFO
1763 in the
1764 .Fa volattr
1765 field, even though it generates no result in the attribute buffer.
1766 .Pp
1767 .
1768 The order that attributes are stored in the attribute buffer almost
1769 invariably matches the order of attribute mask bit values.
1770 For example,
1771 .Dv ATTR_CMN_NAME
1772 (0x00000001) comes before
1773 .Dv ATTR_CMN_DEVID
1774 (0x00000002) because its value is smaller.
1775 When ordering attributes, you should always use the order in which they
1776 are described above.
1777 .Pp
1778 .
1779 The
1780 .Vt timespec
1781 structure is 64-bits (two 32-bit elements) in 32-bit code, and
1782 128-bits (two 64-bit elements) in 64-bit code; however, it is aligned
1783 on a 4-byte (32-bit) boundary, even in 64-bit code.
1784 .Pp
1785 If you use a structure
1786 for the attribute data, it must be correctly packed and aligned (see
1787 examples).
1788 .Pp
1789 .
1790 Inconsistent behavior may be observed when the ATTR_CMN_FULLPATH attribute is requested on
1791 hard-linked items, particularly when the file system does not support ATTR_CMN_PARENTID
1792 natively. Callers should be aware of this when requesting the full path of a hard-linked item, especially
1793 if the full path crosses mount points.
