void libdar::ea_filesystem_clear_ea (  const std::string &  name, const mask &  filter )

remove all EA of a given file that match a given mask Parameters: [in]  name  is the filename which EA must be altered [in]  filter  is a mask that defines which EA names have to be removed Note: unless the given mask is logically equivalent to bool_mask(true) some EA may remain associated to the file after the operation.

bool libdar::ea_filesystem_has_ea (  const std::string &  name, const ea_attributs &  list, const mask &  filter )

test the presence of EA for a given file Parameters: [in]  name  is the filename which EA presence must be check against [in]  list  list of attributes [in]  filter  Returns: true if at least one EA covered by filter and present in the list exists as EA of the given file

bool libdar::ea_filesystem_has_ea (  const std::string &  name  )

test the presence of EA for a given file Parameters: [in]  name  is the filename which EA presence must be check against Returns: true if at least one EA has been found

void libdar::ea_filesystem_read_ea (  const std::string &  chemin, ea_attributs &  val, const mask &  filter )

read EA associated to a given file Parameters: [in]  chemin  is the path to the file to read attributes of [out]  val  is the resulting list of EA associated to this file [in]  filter  is a mask that defines which attributes names have to be considered only Returns: true whether some attribute could be found

bool libdar::ea_filesystem_write_ea (  const std::string &  chemin, const ea_attributs &  val, const mask &  filter )

overwrite some attribute to a given file's attribute list Parameters: [in]  chemin  is the path of the file to write attribute to [in]  val  is a list of attribute amoung which a subset will be added to file's attribute list [in]  filter  a mask that define which attribute's names will be written and which will be ignored from the given list Returns: true if some attribute could be set Note: if an EA is already present, it is not modified unless the mask covers its name and a value is available for that attribute name in the given list.
