# libnoxattr

An `LD_PRELOAD` library that disables all forms of

[extended file attributes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_file_attributes).

This is useful to simulate a file system that does not support extended

attributes on a file system that supports them, e.g., ext4.

## Usage

Build via `make` then run via:

```sh

LD_PRELOAD="/full/path/to/libnoxattr.so" $YOUR_PROGRAM

```

* inspired by [libeatmydata](https://github.com/stewartsmith/libeatmydata)
