Description
I noticed VERY confusing and annoying effects while experimenting with this tool: changes would get reverted after several minutes, Volume (un)mounts or after reboot (most likely related to the buffer cache being flushed by "update"). The patched set/delete routines call fcntl() to turn data caching off and to force immediate on-disk modifications. I believe "xattr.h" should be changed to <sys/xattr.h> in all source files including xattr.h, patches to XARemoveOperation.c and XASetOperation.c are appended. The patch for xattr.c makes the explanation for the get operation option clearer.
