-.SH NAME
-removexattr, lremovexattr, fremovexattr \- remove an extended attribute
-.SH LIBRARY
-Standard C library
-.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.B #include <sys/xattr.h>
-.P

-.SH DESCRIPTION
-Extended attributes are
-.IR 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
-.BR stat (2)
-data).
-A complete overview of extended attributes concepts can be found in
-.BR xattr (7).
-.P
-.BR removexattr ()
-removes the extended attribute identified by
-.I name
-and associated with the given
-.I path
-in the filesystem.
-.P
-.BR lremovexattr ()
-is identical to
-.BR 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.
-.P
-.BR fremovexattr ()
-is identical to
-.BR removexattr (),
-only the extended attribute is removed from the open file referred to by
-.I fd
-(as returned by
-.BR open (2))
-in place of
-.IR path .
-.P
-An extended attribute name is a null-terminated string.
-The
-.I name
-includes a namespace prefix; there may be several, disjoint
-namespaces associated with an individual inode.
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-On success, zero is returned.
-On failure, \-1 is returned and
-.I errno
-is set to indicate the error.
-.SH ERRORS
-.TP
-.B ENODATA
-The named attribute does not exist.
-.\" .RB ( ENOATTR
-.\" is defined to be a synonym for
-.\" .BR ENODATA
-.\" in
-.\" .IR <attr/attributes.h> .)
-.TP
-.B ENOTSUP
-Extended attributes are not supported by the filesystem, or are disabled.
-.P
-In addition, the errors documented in
-.BR stat (2)
-can also occur.
