openat(2) is not related to extended attributes of either variant.  It
is a variant of open(2) with support for paths realtive to directories
other than the current directory.

It seems the Solaris interface for extended attributes is named
attropen(3), but I don't know or care much about extended
attributes. (At the moment at least.)
