+.SH XATTR FILE FORMAT
+The format for xattr files tries to be identical to the output
+of \fBgetfattr\fR.
+
+Attributes are listed as key-value pairs with an \fB=\fR sign in between.
+
+If a line starts with `\fB# file: \fR`, the rest of the line is interpreted
+as an absolute path that the following xattrs are applied to.
+
+Plain text values are wrapped in quotation marks ("...") and support some
+escape sequences.
+Currently supported are \fB\\"\fR, \fB\\\\\fR and \fB\\0<octal-sequence>\fR.
+
+Raw binary values can encoded as hexadecimal or base64, by starting the
+value with a \fB0x\fR or \fB0s\fR prefix respectively.
