Attribute-Modification Lists

Use an attribute-modification list to specify multiple modification operations to be performed on the attributes associated with a single named object.

An attribute-modification list is represented by the FN_attrmodlist_t type. It consists of an ordered list of attribute-modification specifiers. Each specifier contains an operation and an attribute object. The attribute's identifier indicates the attribute that is to be operated upon. How the attribute's values are used depends on the operation.

The operation specifier is one of the values described in Table 2-1. The operations should be done in the order in which they appear in the list.
