Introduce userland utilities to set and get extended attributes. These

utilities do not present the world's greatest interface, and will
undoubtably change soon.  However, they do let people experiment with
extended attributes, and provide samples of how to use the syscalls.

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm setextattr
+.Nd set a named extended attribute
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm setextattr
+.Ar attrname
+.Ar filename
+.Ar attrvalue
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is a user tool to set a named extended attribute on a file or directory to
+the provided string.
+The
+.Ar attrname
+argument should be the name of the attribute,
+.Ar filename
+the name of the file or directory to set the attribute for, and
+.Ar attrvalue
+a string to store in the attribute.
+.Nm
+will store the string in the file's attribute.
+In order for
+.Nm
+to succeed, the attribute service must be available on the file system,
+and appropriate privilege may be required.
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+.Pp
+.Dl # setextattr md5 /kernel `md5 -q /kernel`
+.Pp
+Set the ``md5'' extended attribute on the file /kernel to the string
+containing the output of ``md5 -q /kernel''.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr extattrctl 8 ,
+.Xr getextattr 8 ,
+.Xr extattr 9
+.Sh HISTORY
+Extended attribute support was developed as part of the TrustedBSD Project,
+and introduced in FreeBSD 5.0.
+It was developed to support security extensions requiring additional labels
+to be associated with each file or directory.
+.Sh AUTHORS
+Robert N M Watson
+.Sh BUGS
+.Nm
+can only be used to set attributes to strings.
