/*
 * Define archive formats for extended attributes.
 *
 * Extended attributes are stored in two pieces.
 * 1. An attribute header which has information about
 *    what file the attribute is for and what the attribute
 *    is named.
 * 2. The attribute record itself.  Stored as a normal file type
 *    of entry.
 * Both the header and attribute record have special modes/typeflags
 * associated with them.
 *
 * The names of the header in the archive look like:
 * /dev/null/attr.hdr
 *
 * The name of the attribute looks like:
 * /dev/null/attr.
 *
 * This is done so that an archiver that doesn't understand these formats
 * can just dispose of the attribute records unless the user chooses to
 * rename them via cpio -r or pax -i
 *
 * The format is composed of a fixed size header followed
 * by a variable sized xattr_buf. If the attribute is a hard link
 * to another attribute, then another xattr_buf section is included
 * for the link.
 *
 * The xattr_buf is used to define the necessary "pathing" steps
 * to get to the extended attribute.  This is necessary to support
 * a fully recursive attribute model where an attribute may itself
 * have an attribute.
 *
 * The basic layout looks like this.
