ATTROPEN(3C)							  ATTROPEN(3C)

NAME
       attropen - open a file

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <sys/stat.h>
       #include <fcntl.h>

       int attropen(const char *path, const char *attrpath, int oflag,
	    /* mode_t mode */...);

DESCRIPTION
       The  attropen() function is similar to the open(2) function except that
       it takes a second path argument, attrpath, that identifies an  extended
       attribute  file	associated with the first path argument. This function
       returns a file descriptor for the extended attribute  rather  than  the
       file named by the initial argument.

       The  O_XATTR  flag  is  set  by default for attropen() and the attrpath
       argument is always interpreted as a reference to an extended attribute.
       Extended	 attributes must be referenced with a relative path; providing
       an absolute path results in a normal file reference.

RETURN VALUES
       Refer to open(2).

ERRORS
       Refer to open(2).
