Function fgetxattr_query 

Source
pub fn fgetxattr_query<Fd: AsFd, Name: Arg>(fd: Fd, name: Name) -> Result<usize>
Expand description

fgetxattr(fd, name, NULL, 0)—Query the length of an extended filesystem attribute on an open file descriptor.

This function uses fgetxattr with no buffer to just return the size of the attribute. This can be used to determine the size of a buffer to allocate for a subsequent call to fgetxattr, however keep in mind that other processes may modify attributes at any time.
