===Solaris===<!-- This section is linked from [[Solaris (operating system)]] -->

[[Solaris (operating system)|Solaris]] version 9 and later allows files to have "extended attributes", which are actually [[fork (file system)|fork]]s; the maximum size of an "extended attribute" is the same as the maximum size of a file, and they are read and written in the same fashion as files. Internally, they are actually stored and accessed like normal files, so their names cannot contain "/" characters<ref>{{man|57|fsattr|Solaris}}</ref> and their ownership and permissions can differ from those of the parent file.

Version 4 of the [[Network File System]] supports extended attributes in much the same way as Solaris.
