Hi Stef,

Thanks for the reply.

I think you might be right about it not being implemented - I did a
little googling and found some _old_ (2007) threads about adding it:
https://lwn.net/Articles/251228/
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0710.3/0183.html
It looks like those patches never went anywhere for various reasons,
and fgetattr isn't in the kernel, but libfuse does have the interfaces
and the FUSE_GETATTR_FH flag is mentioned in both the kernel and
libfuse?

I've added Miklos, who was the creator of those threads and I believe
a maintainer of libfuse.  Hope you don't mind the email Miklos, maybe
you could shed some light on this? :)

Cheers,
- Alex.
