# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

The [**io\_uring\_prep\_setxattr**(3)](/man/os/liburing/io_uring_prep_setxattr.3) function prepares a request to set an extended attribute value. The submission queue entry *sqe* is setup to set the *value* of the extended attribute identified by *name* and associated with the given *path* in the filesystem with modifier flags *flags*. The *len* argument specifies the size (in bytes) of *value*.

[**io\_uring\_prep\_fsetxattr**(3)](/man/os/liburing/io_uring_prep_fsetxattr.3) is identical to [**io\_uring\_prep\_setxattr**(3)](/man/os/liburing/io_uring_prep_setxattr.3), only the extended attribute is set on the open file referred to by *fd* in place of *path*.

This function prepares an async [**setxattr**(2)](/man/os/liburing/setxattr.2) request. See that man page for details.
