If I understand the manpage correctly, doing a 'getfattr -d <path>'
should dump the extended attributes of the files in the supplied path.
 When I try this on any path I supply, getfattr simply returns with no
output to stdout.

I'm assuming that is because there are no extended attributes
associated with any of the files in the paths I've tested with?
