To list named data streams

1. To list the named data streams, create code similar to the following:

   fd = open("foo", O_RDWR);  /* open file foo */
   afd = vxfs_nattr_open(fd, "stream1",
            O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0777);/* create named data stream
                                      stream1 for file foo */
   write(afd, buf, 1024);       /* writes to named stream file */
   read(afd, buf, 1024);        /* reads from named stream file */
   dfd = vxfs_nattr_open(fd, ".", O_RDONLY);
                                    /* opens named stream directory
                                                    for file foo */
   getdents(dfd, buf, 1024);/* reads directory entries for
                                    named stream directory */

2. Use the reverse name lookup call to resolve a stream file to a pathname. The resulting pathname's format is similar to the following:

   /mount_point/file_with_data_stream/./data_stream_file_name
