# maximumXattrSize

The maximum extended attribute size in bytes.

```
optional var maximumXattrSize: Int { get }
```

## Discussion

Implement at least one of `maximumXattrSize` or [`maximumXattrSizeInBits`](/documentation/FSKit/FSVolume/PathConfOperations/maximumXattrSizeInBits).
FSKit automatically converts from one to another if needed.
If you implement both, FSKit uses only the `maximumXattrSizeInBits` implementation.
