Description
On AIX, it is possible to manipulate extended attributes, using the setea(), getea(), listea(), and removeea() APIs, documented at https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.3?topic=s-setea-subroutine.
These are also used heavily, by the AIX-compatible PASE environment, on IBM i (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.3?topic=concepts-extended-attributes), to handle metadata such as codepages, file types, and descriptive metadata, and presumably also to store AIXC-style access control list metadata, given that pax is able to archive them, when xattrs are enabled, so it may be useful, to implement support, to enable utilities written in Go, such as Restic, to be able to work with them.
