getextattr/setextattr changes
I plan a few changes to getextattr(1) and setextattr(1) to make them a
bit more usable.
- Add a -s flag to getextattr to specify a vis(3) format. e.g.:
getextattr -s octal user foo file
- Invoke hexdump(1) for displaying the value when getextattr -x is used.
The existing hexadecimal display is just a mess.
- Add a -i flag to setextattr so that the attribute value can be taken
from a file (- for stdin). This would help setting binary values
Opinions?
