Description

Currently, flags parameter is ignored. We can implement XATTR_CREATE and XATTR_REPLACE for this.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the current Setxattr implementation for FreeBSD in the x/sys/unix package, then add support for XATTR CREATE and XATTR REPLACE flags by adapting from the Linux implementation.
