-# xattr
-## Interface for extended filesystem attributes
-
-[Extended attributes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_attributes) are a special type of file attribute that lets you associate key-value pairs with a file without actually modifying the file's contents. Commonly used for program settings, tagging, and file metadata (i.e., storing a file's author with a key like “author.name”) xattrs can be used for used for pretty much anything you can dream up. They're mega-cool and useful.
-
-This is a simple interface for accessing them within [Chicken Scheme](https://call-cc.org/), a friendly Scheme.
-
-
-## API
-### get-xattr
-`get-xattr path attr`
-
-Returns the string-value of a file's extended attribute.  
-If the file has no such attribute, #f is returned. In other cases (e.g., the file doesn't exist, permission not available, no filesystem support), exceptions are raised.
-
-### set-xattr
-`set-xattr path attr value`
-
-Sets the string-value of a file's extended attribute.  
-The set value is returned, if successful.
-
-### remove-xattr
-`remove-xattr path attr`
-
-Removes an extended attribute from a file.  
-The value of the removed attribute is returned, if successful.
-
-### list-xattrs
-`list-xattrs path`
-
-Returns a list of the file's extended attribute names.
-
-
-## Examples
-```
-(import xattr (chicken io) (chicken file))
-;; Create the test file
-(call-with-output-file "testing.txt"
-                       (lambda (out-port) (write-line "Just a test!" out-port)))
-
-(set-xattr "testing.txt" "user.dublincore.author" "Migdal E. F. Lemmings")
-(set-xattr "testing.txt" "user.dublincore.title" "A Treatise on Almonds")
-
-(get-xattr "testing.txt" "user.dublincore.author")
-;; Returns "Migdal E. F. Lemmings"
-
-(list-xattrs "testing.txt")
-;; Returns '("user.dublincore.author" "user.dublincore.title")
-
-(remove-xattr "testing.txt" "user.dublincore.title")
-;; Returns "A Treatise on Almonds"
-
-(list-xattrs "testing.txt")
-;; Now returns '("user.dublincore.author")
-```
-
-
-## On GNU/Linux
-Currently, this egg only supports LiGNUx, a platform that has a particularity: The name of each attribute must contain a “namespace,” separated from the actual name by a period. For example, with the attribute named `user.xdg.origin.url`, the namespace is `user` and the name is `xdg.origin.url`. In most cases, you won't stray from the `user` namespace.  
-
-Don't forget to prepend “user.” to your attribute names!
-
-A handy list of somewhat-standard extended attributes is hosted on FreeDesktop's website, [here](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/CommonExtendedAttributes/).
-
-
-## Requirements
-This egg requires `srfi-1` and `srfi-12`.
