Hm, actually ENODATA is an alias of ENOATTR defined in libattr header.
But that's:

 a) not how normal Posix errno values are supposed to work.  I
 b) limited to using xattr, whichle getxattr is also exposed by glibc
 directly.

This really needs an explanation in the NOTES section, I'll see if I can
come up with someting useful.
