-                   Solaris Extended Attributes
-
-In solaris extended attributes are logically supported as files
-within the filesystem.  The file system is therefore augmented
-with an orthogonal namespace of file attributes. Attribute values
-are accessed by file descriptors obtained through a special attribute
-interface. This type of logical view of "attributes as files" allows
-the leveraging of existing file system interface functionality to
-support the construction, deletion and manipulation of attributes.
-
-But as we have tested through this functionality provided by Solaris
-we have come across two major issues as written below.
-
-1. Symlink XATTR_NOFOLLOW not present for creating extended attributes
-   directly on the symlinks like other platforms Linux,MAC-OSX,BSD etc.
-   An implementation is present for O_NOFOLLOW for "openat()" call sets
-   up errno ELOOP whenever encountered with a symlink and also another
-   implementation AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW which is not present for calls like
-   "attropen(), openat()"
-
-   a snippet of test code which helped us understand this behaviour
-   --------------------------------------
-    attrfd = attropen (path, key,
-    flags|AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW|O_CREAT|O_WRONLY|O_NOFOLLOW, 0777);
-    if (attrfd >= 0) {
-      ftruncate (attrfd, 0);
-      ret = write (attrfd, value, size);
-      close (attrfd);
-    } else {
-       fprintf (stderr, "Couldn't set extended attribute for %s (%d)\n",
-       	        path, errno);
-    }
-    --------------------------------------
-
-2. Extended attribute support for special files like device files, fifo files
-   is not supported under solaris.
-
-Apart from these glitches almost everything regarding porting functionality
-for extended attribute calls has been properly implemented in compat.c
-with writing wrapper around functions over
-"attropen()", "openat()", "unlinkat()"
