+# fuse_xattrs
-## Abstract
+This is a fuse filesystem that provides extended attribute (xattr)
+support over any filesystem by using "sidecar files", i.e. separate
+files that hold the extended attributes only, named by the same
+pathname as the attributed file or directory with an additional
+extension ".xattr".
-This filesystem provides xattr support using sidecar files.
