+These functions provide access to file system extended attributes on the Unix
+platforms that support them.
+
+.. note::
+
+   On some platforms, extended attribute names have a *namespace qualifier*
+   prefix such as ``'user.'`` or ``'system.'``.
+
+   On FreeBSD, Python requires that the caller of functions that expect an
+   attribute name specify the namespace qualifier, which is interpreted
+   according to ``extattr_string_to_namespace()``. The rest of the string is
+   interpreted as the attribute name. E.g. Python will interpret the
+   ``'user.mime_type'`` string as the attribute name ``'mime_type'`` in the
+   ``EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_USER`` namespace.
