Subject: getxattr.2, removexattr.2, setxattr.2: ERRORS: replace ENOATTR with ENODATA
X-Git-Tag: man-pages-5.00~171
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=acac1139a661b144a6d82c33bc7e6b43a4a60c1c;p=thirdparty%2Fman-pages.git

getxattr.2, removexattr.2, setxattr.2: ERRORS: replace ENOATTR with ENODATA

ENOATTR is not a standard error code, but rather one that is
defined in 'libattr' as a synonym for ENODATA. The manual pages
should use the error code actually returned by the kernel APIs.
