REMOVEXATTR(2)                                                          Linux Programmer's Manual                                                         REMOVEXATTR(2)

NAME
       removexattr, lremovexattr, fremovexattr - remove an extended attribute

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/xattr.h>

       int removexattr(const char *path, const char *name);
       int lremovexattr(const char *path, const char *name);
       int fremovexattr(int fd, const char *name);

DESCRIPTION
       Extended  attributes  are name:value pairs associated with inodes (files, directories, symbolic links, etc.).  They are extensions to the normal attributes which
       are associated with all inodes in the system (i.e., the stat(2) data).  A complete overview of extended attributes concepts can be found in xattr(7).

       removexattr() removes the extended attribute identified by name and associated with the given path in the filesystem.

       lremovexattr() is identical to removexattr(), except in the case of a symbolic link, where the extended attribute is removed from the link itself, not  the  file
       that it refers to.

       fremovexattr()  is  identical  to removexattr(), only the extended attribute is removed from the open file referred to by fd (as returned by open(2)) in place of
       path.

       An extended attribute name is a null-terminated string.  The name includes a namespace prefix; there may be several, disjoint namespaces associated with an indi‐
       vidual inode.

RETURN VALUE
       On success, zero is returned.  On failure, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
       ENODATA
              The named attribute does not exist.

       ENOTSUP
              Extended attributes are not supported by the filesystem, or are disabled.

       In addition, the errors documented in stat(2) can also occur.

VERSIONS
       These system calls have been available on Linux since kernel 2.4; glibc support is provided since version 2.3.

CONFORMING TO
       These system calls are Linux-specific.
