Hmm, I think so. In fact, AFAICS in the man-pages, it is only used for
that:
[
$ grep -rn ENODATA man?
man2/setxattr.2:124:.B ENODATA
man2/setxattr.2:129:.\" .BR ENODATA
man2/getxattr.2:118:.B ENODATA
man2/getxattr.2:123:.\" .BR ENODATA
man2/removexattr.2:85:.B ENODATA
man2/removexattr.2:89:.\" .BR ENODATA
man3/errno.3:405:.B ENODATA
]
Proposal:
[
ENODATA
The named attribute does not exist, or the process
has no access to this attribute.
In POSIX.1-2001 (XSI STREAMS option), this error was
described as "No message is available on the STREAM
head read queue".
]
What do you think about it?
Thanks,
Alex
