Subject*at syscalls for xattrs?
Hi,


recently, the family of *at() syscalls and functions (openat, fstatat,
etc.) have been added to Linux and Glibc, respectively.
In short: I am missing xattr at functions :)

BTW, why is fstatat called fstatat and not statat? (Same goes for
futimesat.) It does not take a file descriptor for the file argument.
Otherwise we'd also need fopenat/funlinkat, etc. Any reasons?


Thanks,
Jan
