Package: libattr1-dev
Version: 1:2.4.39-1
Severity: minor

I really had to read listxattr(2) from top to bottom before it became
evident that the _list_ argument to the functions is a pre-allocated
buffer and _size_ is its size. A simple note to this effect in the
second paragraph of the DESCRIPTION section would suffice, for example
adding to the end of the paragraph:

"_list_ is a caller-allocated buffer of size _size_."
