46 These entry points manipulate various attributes of a file or directory,
47 including file permissions, owner, group, size,
48 access time and modification time.
53 The vnode of the file.
55 The attributes of the file.
57 The user credentials of the calling process.
60 Attributes which are not being modified by
62 should be set to the value
65 may be used to clear all the values, and should generally be used to reset
68 prior to setting specific values.
71 expects the vnode to be locked on entry and will leave the vnode locked on
73 The lock type can be either shared or exclusive.
76 expects the vnode to be locked on entry and will leave the vnode locked on
78 The lock type must be exclusive.
81 returns 0 if it was able to retrieve the attribute data via

85 returns zero if the attributes were changed successfully, otherwise an
86 appropriate error is returned.
