-.TH REMOVEXATTR 2 "Extended Attributes" "Dec 2001" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
-.SH NAME
-removexattr, lremovexattr, fremovexattr \- remove an extended attribute
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.fam C
-.nf
-.B #include <sys/types.h>
-.B #include <attr/xattr.h>
-.sp
-.BI "int removexattr(const char\ *" path ", const char\ *" name );
-.BI "int lremovexattr(const char\ *" path ", const char\ *" name );
-.BI "int fremovexattr(int " filedes ", const char\ *" name );

-.SH DESCRIPTION
-Extended attributes are
-.IR name :\c
-value pairs associated with inodes (files, directories, symlinks, etc).
-They are extensions to the normal attributes which are associated
-with all inodes in the system (i.e. the
-.BR stat (2)
-data).
-A complete overview of extended attributes concepts can be found in
-.BR attr (5).
-.PP
-.BR removexattr ()
-removes the extended attribute identified by
-.I name
-and associated with the given
-.I path
-in the filesystem.
-.PP
-.BR lremovexattr ()
-is identical to
-.BR removexattr (),
-except in the case of a symbolic link, where the extended attribute is
-removed from the link itself, not the file that it refers to.
-.PP
-.BR fremovexattr ()
-is identical to
-.BR removexattr (),
-only the extended attribute is removed from the open file pointed to by
-.I filedes
-(as returned by
-.BR open (2))
-in place of
-.IR path .
-.PP
-An extended attribute name is a simple null-terminated string.
-The
-.I name
-includes a namespace prefix; there may be several, disjoint
-namespaces associated with an individual inode.
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-On success, zero is returned.
-On failure, \-1 is returned and
-.I errno
-is set appropriately.
-.PP
-If the named attribute does not exist,
-.I errno
-is set to ENOATTR.
-.PP
-If extended attributes are not supported by the filesystem, or are disabled,
-.I errno
-is set to ENOTSUP.
-.PP
-The errors documented for the
-.BR stat (2)
-system call are also applicable here.
-.SH "CONFORMING TO"
-These system calls are Linux specific.
