The code calls sys_lgetxattr() once with a NULL pointer and a 0 length to ask for the size. Then, it calls it with a buffer large enough to hold the attribute. So, the best solution would be to make your code just ask the OS how big an item is when there is no buffer pointer. If that is not possible, it should be easy to cache an object in a static in your function and re-use it for a following call where the name matches. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
