It has been decided to remove the FreeBSD API before the 6.0 release, but someone needs to find time to do it.
In that case, I would suggest patching the kernel and let it return ENODATA. The API was never usable, no risk of making a mess of it. It would just need adjustements in documentation.
bt code that uses ENOATTR stays unharmed, and the extended att. API stays closer to the Linux one.
My 2 cents :) -- Jean-Yves Migeon jeanyves.migeon%free.fr@localhost
