xattr 1.0.0

#![allow(clippy::comparison_chain)]
//! A pure-Rust library to manage extended attributes.
//!
//! It provides support for manipulating extended attributes
//! (`xattrs`) on modern Unix filesystems. See the `attr(5)`
//! manpage for more details.
//!
//! An extension trait [`FileExt`] is provided to directly work with
//! standard `File` objects and file descriptors.
//!
//! NOTE: In case of a symlink as path argument, all methods
//! in this library work on the symlink itself **without**
//! de-referencing it.
//!
//! ```rust
//! let mut xattrs = xattr::list("/").unwrap().peekable();
//!
//! if xattrs.peek().is_none() {
//!     println!("no xattr set on root");
//!     return;
//! }
//!
//! println!("Extended attributes:");
//! for attr in xattrs {
//!     println!(" - {:?}", attr);
//! }
//! ```
