Package description:
This module gives access to the extended attributes present in some
operating systems/filesystems. You can list attributes, get, set and
remove them.
The module exposes two sets of functions:
- the 'old' listxattr, getxattr, setxattr, removexattr functions
which are deprecated since version 0.4
- the new list, get, get_all, set, remove functions which expose
a namespace-aware API and simplify a bit the calling model by
using keyword arguments
