I'll throw a spanner in the works and suggest the kernel-level interface for listing extended attributes should be the same as the interface for listing directories. I'm not sure if this is really a good idea or not, but it would allow sharing code in some places and it reduces the chances that something left out of the interface will be wanted next year. (The application-level interface provided by libc can be whatever.) -- David A. Holland dholl...@netbsd.org
