removexattr, lremovexattr, fremovexattr - remove an extended attribute

       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 individual inode.

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.

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