I think this one is a bug. It appears that extattr_set_fd() obeys the permissions on the file, not the permissions of the descriptor. In particular, I see this on FreeBSD 6.3:
[...@dark /tmp]$ ./extattr_test fd=3 extattr_set_fd() = -1 errno = 13 (Permission denied) [...@dark /tmp]$ cat extattr_test.c #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/extattr.h> #include <errno.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { int n, fd; fd = open("/tmp/test12345", O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_EXCL, 0000); printf("fd=%d\n", fd); n = extattr_set_fd(fd, EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_USER, "testattr", "1234", 4); printf("extattr_set_fd() = %d\n", n); if (n != 0) printf("errno = %d (%s)\n", errno, strerror(errno)); exit(0); } _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
