写入扩展文件属性

Question

我正在尝试使用以下代码在文件头中写入一些数据（数据长度为 367 字节）：

const char *attrName = [kAttributeForKey UTF8String];
const char *path = [filePath fileSystemRepresentation];

const uint8_t *myDataBytes = (const uint8_t*)[myData bytes];
int result = setxattr(path, attrName, myDataBytes, sizeof(myDataBytes), 0, 0);

当我尝试阅读它时，结果有所不同：

const char *attrName = [kAttributeForKey UTF8String];
const char *path = [filePath fileSystemRepresentation];

int bufferLength = getxattr(path, attrName, NULL, 0, 0, 0);
char *buffer = malloc(bufferLength);
getxattr(path, attrName, buffer, bufferLength, 0, 0);

NSData *myData = [[NSData alloc] initWithBytes:buffer length:bufferLength];  
free(buffer);

有人可以告诉我如何才能完成这项工作吗？提前致谢。

这是一个方便的NSFileManager 类别，它获取和设置 NSString 作为文件的扩展属性。

+ (NSString *)xattrStringValueForKey:(NSString *)key atURL:(NSURL *)URL
{
    NSString *value = nil;
    const char *keyName = key.UTF8String;
    const char *filePath = URL.fileSystemRepresentation;

    ssize_t bufferSize = getxattr(filePath, keyName, NULL, 0, 0, 0);

    if (bufferSize != -1) {
        char *buffer = malloc(bufferSize+1);

        if (buffer) {
            getxattr(filePath, keyName, buffer, bufferSize, 0, 0);
            buffer[bufferSize] = '\0';
            value = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:buffer];
            free(buffer);
        }
    }
    return value;
}

+ (BOOL)setXAttrStringValue:(NSString *)value forKey:(NSString *)key atURL:(NSURL *)URL
{
    int failed = setxattr(URL.fileSystemRepresentation, key.UTF8String, value.UTF8String, value.length, 0, 0);
    return (failed == 0);
}
