VOP_LISTEXTATTR — retrieve a list of named extended attribute from a vnode

       This vnode call may be used to retrieve a list of named extended attributes from a specified namespace on
       a file or directory.

       Its arguments are:

       vp             The vnode of the file or directory.

       attrnamespace  Integer constant indicating which extended  attribute  namespace  the  attribute  name  is
                      present in.

       uio            The  location  of  the  data  to  be read.  The resulting data will be a list of attribute
                      names.  Each list entry consists of a single byte containing the length of  the  attribute
                      name, followed by the attribute name.  The attribute name is not terminated by ASCII NUL.

       size           If  not NULL, on return it will contain the number of bytes required to read the list.  In
                      most cases uio will be NULL when size is not, and vice versa.

       cred           The user credentials to use in authorizing the request.

       td             The thread requesting the extended attribute.

       The cred pointer may be NULL to indicate that access control checks are not to be performed, if possible.
       This cred setting might be used to allow the kernel to authorize extended attribute  retrieval  that  the
       active process might not be permitted to do.

       Extended attribute semantics may vary by file system implementing the call.  More information on extended
       attributes may be found in extattr(9).

       [EACCES]           The caller does not have the appropriate privilege.

       [ENXIO]            The request was not valid in this file system for the specified  vnode  and  attribute
                          name.

       [ENOMEM]           Sufficient memory is not available to fulfill the request.

       [EFAULT]           The uio structure refers to an invalid userspace address.

       [EINVAL]           The namespace or uio argument is invalid.

       [EOPNOTSUPP]       The file system does not support VOP_LISTEXTATTR().

       The vnode will be locked on entry and should remain locked on return.

       On  success,  zero  will  be  returned,  and  the uio structure will be updated to reflect the list read.
       Otherwise, an appropriate error code is returned.
