.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fa options
parameter lets you control specific aspects of the function's behaviour.
.Pp
+The
+.Fn setattrlistat
+system call is equivalent to
+.Fn setattrlist
+except in the case where
+.Fa path
+specifies a relative path.
+In this case the attributes are set for the file system object named by
+path relative to the directory associated with the file descriptor
+.Fa fd
+instead of the current working directory.
+If
+.Fn setattrlistat
+is passed the special value
+.Dv AT_FDCWD
+in the
+.Fa fd
+parameter, the current working directory is used and the behavior is
+identical to a call to
+.Fn setattrlist .
+.Pp
.
The
functions are only supported by certain volume format implementations.
parameter for
.Fn fsetattrlist
must be a valid file descriptor for the calling process.
+.
+The list of potentially settable attributes via
+.Fn setattrlist
+is different than the list of attributes that are accessible via
+.Fn getattrlist
+In particular, only the following attributes are modifiable via
+.Fn setattrlist
+and not all of them may be supported on all filesystems.
