extended attributessearch for term

Similar to named data streams; however, they use the NetWare extended attribute naming semantics. Extended attributes also have their own object type, because they contain a unique piece of metadata that is not contained in the data stream object. This metadata is a user-defined 32-bit value that is stored with each extended attribute and that is opaque in meaning to Novell Storage Services (NSS).
